Write an article in a sincere tone I can upload on Medium. The article must be in the form of a tutorial, where the reader will learn about programming and how to get started. I require an overview of programming but the main focus should be coding in python!
Sure, here's an example of an outline for an introductory article written as a Python tutorial on Medium:
