Python Programming Essentials
In the previous chapter, we got acquainted with Python’s history and implementations. We also learned how to use an online editor by the Micro:bit Foundation for programming a Micro:bit device (also referred to as a board). We installed the Thonny and Mu IDEs for MicroPython programming and explored their useful features for programming Micro:bit with MicroPython. I hope that you have had an opportunity to write a basic program for Micro:bit.
In this chapter, we will get started with hands-on programming with MicroPython. We will get comfortable with the Python programming syntax before getting into creating projects with MicroPython and Micro:bit. If you are new to Python programming, this chapter will help you to gain the essentials. We will explore the following list of topics together:
- Getting started with Python programming
- Conditional statements
- Loops
- Computing prime numbers, factorials, and Fibonacci series
