Please answer thx

Question

So I guess to me I'm a complete programming newbie and at most a script kiddy. So far I'm starting off on python as a beginning language. I'm starting off from no prior knowledge whatsoever. So what I'd like to know most of all is what terminology should I know before taking my computer courses in high school? Please explain any answers in plain english and if you think so maybe include some analogies. Thanks so much :)

Answer 1

For starters, simple and basic concepts will do. You can follow the Python course here on Sololearn.

on the tool side:
IDE, interpreter, scripting language concept, interactive vs editor, etc.

on the language side:
Syntax, variables and data types, condition statements, loops (for, while), methods/functions, reserved keywords.

Later on, grab a concept of object-oriented programming and all its terms and features.
