Python
Our Python lessons here are going to be unlike any other programming language lessons you’ve likely encountered thus far. They are going to be very quick and concise. That’s because we are not here to teach you how to code. There are already a plethora of resources out there for that. While learning how to write your own code is something that has great value, especially at the middle to higher levels of cybersecurity, knowing how to do so from the start is not a necessity.
