Hi, I'm Craig and I'm a developer. 0:08

In this course, we're going to discuss a built-in Python data type known as a list. 0:11

Now, lists are a powerful data structure that allow you to group multiple values 0:16

together in a single container. 0:20

But before we get started, let me list a couple of things 0:22

just to make sure that you're comfortable with your learning environment. 0:26

Now first, on our things to talk about list, 0:29

I'd like to make sure that you've taken the prerequisites for this course. 0:31

I want to make sure that we're on the same page and 0:34

that you know what I'm talking about. 0:35

Our next item that I'd like to remind you about is that there are speed 0:38

controls on the video. 0:41

Feel free to slow me down or speed me up. 0:42

And also, don't forget that you can pause and rewind me whenever you need to. 0:46

You're in complete control. 0:49

Next item. 0:52

There are teacher notes attached to most videos. 0:52

Make sure to check them out. 0:55

Lots of great information is tucked away in there. 0:56

Our final item on our things to talk about list is, 0:59

there is a wonderful and uber friendly community here on Treehouse. 1:02

Ask questions and answer questions. 1:06

I promise that you'll learn a ton just hanging out there. 1:08

Nothing helps solidify your knowledge like answering a question. 1:11

So we just ran through a handy list of things that I wanted to talk to you about. 1:14

We use lists all the times. 1:18

There's grocery lists, to-do lists, even lists of products on web pages. 1:19

Python provides a very clear and easy way to create lists. 1:23

In this course, we'll learn how to create, combine, manipulate, and 1:27

use lists to our advantage. 1:30

By the end of this course, we'll build an interactive console application 1:33

that will prompt the user to build a grocery list. 1:37

You can take this concept and build any sort of other list that you can think of. 1:40

Sound fun? 1:43

Let's get started. 1:44
