Note: If you sort this category by Oldest to Newest you will get the articles in learning order.

Unless otherwise stated all the articles use a file called script.py, the py at the end being the extension for Python scripts.

Some of the articles use the old python2 print statement, use the python3 print function instead. For example print('This is the new print function')
