Hi, I'm Craig and I'm a developer.
-
0:11
In this course, we're going to discuss a built-in Python data type known as a list.
-
0:16
Now, lists are a powerful data structure that allow you to group multiple values
-
0:20
together in a single container.
-
0:22
But before we get started, let me list a couple of things
-
0:26
just to make sure that you're comfortable with your learning ability.
-
0:29
Now first, on our things to talk about list,
-
0:31
I'd like to make sure that you've taken the prerequisites for this course.
-
0:34
I want to make sure that we're on the same page and
-
0:35
that you know what I'm talking about.
-
0:38
Our next item that I'd like to remind you about is that there are speed
-
0:41
controls on the video.
-
0:42
Feel free to slow me down or speed me up.
-
0:46
And also, don't forget that you can pause and rewind me whenever you need to.
-
0:49
You're in complete control.
-
0:52
Next item.
-
0:52
There are teacher notes attached to most videos.
-
0:55
Make sure to check them out.
-
0:56
Lots of great information is tucked away in there.
-
0:59
Our final item on our things to talk about list is,
-
1:02
there is a wonderful and uber friendly community here on Treehouse.
-
1:06
Ask questions and answer questions.
-
1:08
I promise that you'll learn a ton just hanging out there.
-
1:11
Nothing helps solidify your knowledge like answering a question.
-
1:14
So we just ran through a handy list of things that I wanted to talk to you about.
-
1:18
We use lists all the times.
-
1:19
There's grocery lists, to-do lists, even lists of products on web pages.
-
1:23
Python provides a very clear and easy way to create lists.
-
1:27
In this course, we'll learn how to create, combine, manipulate, and
-
1:30
use lists to our advantage.
-
1:33
By the end of this course, we'll build an interactive console application
-
1:37
that will prompt the user to build a grocery list.
-
1:40
You can take this concept and build any short of other list that you can think of.
-
1:43
Sound fun?
