00:00:01,190 --> 00:00:01,820
Welcome back.

2
00:00:02,210 --> 00:00:09,620
Let's do our first exercise, and this exercise is going to be really easy for you to skip, but I do

3
00:00:09,620 --> 00:00:11,770
recommend that you actually do it.

4
00:00:11,780 --> 00:00:17,960
I know it's not coding, but it's important because you'll learn that teaching somebody a topic actually

5
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:18,750
helps you learn.

6
00:00:19,490 --> 00:00:22,930
So this is the exercise based on the videos that you've watched.

7
00:00:23,330 --> 00:00:24,950
How does Python work?

8
00:00:25,430 --> 00:00:27,710
But don't think about it in your head.

9
00:00:28,220 --> 00:00:29,810
I want you to talk to somebody.

10
00:00:29,810 --> 00:00:32,880
I want you to teach somebody how Python works.

11
00:00:33,500 --> 00:00:40,150
So the first thing you're going to do is go to our community, our Desco community.

12
00:00:40,190 --> 00:00:42,040
We have lots of people here.

13
00:00:42,050 --> 00:00:47,740
We have about a thousand five hundred people online right now, plus some alumni, plus some star mentors.

14
00:00:48,140 --> 00:00:49,460
Well, there's a lot of people.

15
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:57,850
What I want you to do is go to the programming buddies channel if you haven't already and find a buddy.

16
00:00:58,430 --> 00:01:03,380
And with that buddy, whether that person is taking a python course or taking a JavaScript course,

17
00:01:03,380 --> 00:01:10,040
it doesn't matter to say, hey, can I spend maybe five minutes teaching you how Python works and see

18
00:01:10,250 --> 00:01:13,940
if you can explain it to them, how it works, just like you've learned.

19
00:01:14,270 --> 00:01:21,980
And then after you've done that, I want you to go find a friend or a family member that has never done

20
00:01:21,980 --> 00:01:27,500
programming before and see if you can explain in simple terms how Python works.

21
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:29,540
That is how.

22
00:01:30,450 --> 00:01:39,930
Python gets written as source code, we use this translation service called an interpreter to run this

23
00:01:39,930 --> 00:01:45,370
code and then, well, spit out some instruction for our machines.

24
00:01:45,660 --> 00:01:47,690
I kind of gave away the answer, but you know what I mean.

25
00:01:47,850 --> 00:01:54,270
I want you to practice teaching somebody this because by understanding these fundamentals, it's going

26
00:01:54,270 --> 00:02:01,200
to help you learn more and more and understand how things work underneath the hood as we get more and

27
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:01,890
more advanced.

28
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:02,990
Right.

29
00:02:03,630 --> 00:02:05,220
First little exercise.

30
00:02:05,250 --> 00:02:06,420
It shouldn't be too hard.

31
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:08,130
I'll see you in the next video.

32
00:02:08,690 --> 00:02:08,860
Bye.
