Episode 13 live.withcode.uk Python Live Coding: Caesar Cipher with Exception Handling

This video is designed for students, teachers and parents who are stuck at home whilst schools are closed. The idea is to give a weekly 10-15 minute live coding python tutorial so you can see a python program build up from scratch.

This week's video talks through how to decrypt a message that's been encrypted using a Caesar cipher algorithm, also focusing on how to validate user input and use exception handling to cope with runtime errors in python.
