In Python 3.6, a new method of formatting strings was introduced - f-strings. In this video, Aaron Maxwell covers what f-strings are and how you can work with them for common string formatting tasks.

Aaron takes you through progressively more complex examples of using f-strings to output your text. For developers working with Python 3.6 and higher, or planning to in the future, it is crucial to understand how f-strings compare to percent formatting and the str.format() method. You will learn:

• How to write simple Python f-string expressions
• How your str.format() knowledge transfers to f-strings
• When you can use f-strings and when you can not

Aaron Maxwell is author of the book "Powerful Python: The Most Impactful Patterns, Features, and Development Strategies Modern Python Provides." As a software engineer, he has worked in devops, test automation, and machine learning, and now divides his time between coding, writing, and teaching.
