00:00:00,871 --> 00:00:02,220
Instructor: Welcome back.

2
00:00:02,220 --> 00:00:04,800
Let's do our first exercise

3
00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:07,740
and this exercise is going to be really easy

4
00:00:07,740 --> 00:00:11,730
for you to skip, but I do recommend that you actually do it.

5
00:00:11,730 --> 00:00:13,890
I know it's not coding, but it's important,

6
00:00:13,890 --> 00:00:16,091
because you'll learn that teaching somebody

7
00:00:16,091 --> 00:00:19,500
a topic actually helps you learn.

8
00:00:19,500 --> 00:00:21,210
So this is the exercise.

9
00:00:21,210 --> 00:00:22,958
based on the videos that you've watched,

10
00:00:22,958 --> 00:00:25,470
how does Python work?

11
00:00:25,470 --> 00:00:28,260
But don't think about it in your head.

12
00:00:28,260 --> 00:00:29,760
I want you to talk to somebody.

13
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:33,510
I want you to teach somebody how Python works.

14
00:00:33,510 --> 00:00:38,510
So the first thing you're gonna do is go to our community

15
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:40,200
our Discord or community,

16
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:42,000
we have lots of people here.

17
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:44,790
We have about 1,500 people online right now

18
00:00:44,790 --> 00:00:48,180
plus some alumni, plus some star mentors.

19
00:00:48,180 --> 00:00:49,890
Well, there's a lot of people.

20
00:00:49,890 --> 00:00:51,090
What I want you to do

21
00:00:51,090 --> 00:00:54,300
is go to the programming-buddies channel

22
00:00:54,300 --> 00:00:58,470
if you haven't already, and find a buddy.

23
00:00:58,470 --> 00:00:59,400
And with that buddy,

24
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:01,950
whether that person is taking a Python course

25
00:01:01,950 --> 00:01:04,290
or taking a JavaScript course, it doesn't matter.

26
00:01:04,290 --> 00:01:07,740
Just say, hey, can I spend maybe five minutes

27
00:01:07,740 --> 00:01:09,480
teaching you how Python works?

28
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:12,870
And see if you can explain it to them, how it works,

29
00:01:12,870 --> 00:01:14,310
just like you've learned.

30
00:01:14,310 --> 00:01:16,860
And then after you've done that,

31
00:01:16,860 --> 00:01:20,190
I want you to go find a friend or a family member

32
00:01:20,190 --> 00:01:23,040
that has never done programming before

33
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:28,040
and see if you can explain in simple terms how Python works.

34
00:01:28,170 --> 00:01:33,170
That is how Python gets written as source code.

35
00:01:34,350 --> 00:01:38,820
We use this translation service called an interpreter

36
00:01:38,820 --> 00:01:40,980
to run this code,

37
00:01:40,980 --> 00:01:45,720
and then we'll spit out some instruction for our machines.

38
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:47,880
I kind of gave away the answer, but you know what I mean.

39
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:50,430
I want you to practice teaching somebody this

40
00:01:50,430 --> 00:01:53,850
because by understanding these fundamentals,

41
00:01:53,850 --> 00:01:56,460
it's going to help you learn more and more

42
00:01:56,460 --> 00:01:59,160
and understand how things work underneath the hood

43
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:03,630
as we get more and more advanced, all right.

44
00:02:03,630 --> 00:02:06,750
First little exercise, it shouldn't be too hard.

45
00:02:06,750 --> 00:02:08,669
I'll see you in the next video.

46
00:02:08,669 --> 00:02:09,502
Bye, bye.
