[TriPython] Microsoft opens up free Python course

[Eric Thomson]

Thanks for the heads up this is really cool. Looking over the topic selection, it is interesting they cover decorators, but not classes, in the course.

Subject: [TriPython] Microsoft opens up free Python course

In an effort to increase use of its Azure platform, Microsoft has created a free 44-part Python course.  Although the course assumes some rudimentary/fundamental understanding of programming, it is a beginner course.
It seems that Microsoft has also made considerable improvements to its VS Code editor to support Python.
