This is a detailed and comprehensive lesson for Beginner Python Programmers which shows how to build Prototype Applications using the Python Programming language.
If you are a Beginner Programmer then make sure that you have completed our previous lesson:
"Algorithms and How to Program in Python for Beginners".
In this lesson we will be building Prototype Applications for Electrical Power Calculations and Cost Comparisons.
We show how to do Prototyping with Console Programs using "Python Room".
Although we use the online "Python Room" emulator throughout this lesson; the code and ideas presented here should be okay to use in any installation of Python.
We work through things gradually and in detail with beginners in mind, and build up to the level where we produce a full blown Prototype Cost Comparison Application.
