INTRODUCTION

Python is an object-oriented programming language that can be used for analyzing data, developing web applications, games, and more. This course will teach you how to code in Python to eventually create something of your own!

SETTING UP

Before beginning to code, we need a place to do so!

​

Option 1: Use sites like repl.it or pythonanywhere.com in order to create files and run them without needing to download anything.

​

Option 2: Download IDLE (available on Mac, Windows, and Linux operating systems) and follow the installation instructions.

​

Regardless of which option you choose, the code will be the same!
