Welcome to Pyathalon! This site is designed to teach the absolute beginning programmer. The idea is to provide a foundation of how a computer works and how you interact with it so that you can better understand the task at hand. Pyathalon covers basic syntax and proper practices in Python (a programming language), however, many of the lessons you will learn here will carry over to other languages with minor tweaks.
Hello World
Why Python
You may be wondering why I chose Python for this site. Well, there are many reasons. First of all Python is free and what I know best. Secondly Python is, for the most part, a very intuitive language (meaning it works in a way you would expect). Lastly, for those of you wish to continue, Python can work with other powerful library etc. to greatly extend the range of what you can create.
