General

Why programming is awesome
How to use the if, if ... else statements
How to use comments
How to affect values to variables
How to use the while and for loops
How is Python’s for different from C‘s?
How to use the break and continues statements
How to use else clauses on loops
What does the pass statement do, and when to use it
What is a function and how do you use functions
What does return a function that does not use any return statement
