Hi, welcome to your python introductory course. Before you get started, we need to download Python.
Python Tools and Resources
- Python & IDLE: Download Python
- Jupyter Notebook: Download Jupyter
- PyCharm: Download Pycharm
Python is a computer programming language often used to build websites and software, automate tasks, and analyze data. But to use it, you need to download Python interpreter. Downloading Python essentially installs the Python interpreter and its standard library onto your computer.
You can download Python for free on windows, linux/unix, macOX, android, and more from Python and IDLE link above.
You can also download Jupyter, which is an open-source project providing tools for interactive computing. They even have a web based one. Its name comes from languages it supports like Julia, Python, and R. Jupyter simply creates interactive, web-based documents blending live code, equations, visualizations, and narrative text, allowing data scientists and researchers to develop, analyze, and share computational workflows in one cohesive environment, making data exploration, prototyping, and reproducible research easier and more transparent.
Then we have PyCharm, which is simply a powerful Integrated Development Environment for Python.
After downloading everything, we’ll go through the basics of using Python with Jupyter Notebook and begin hitting all the critical language topics like variables, conditionals, loops, lists, strings, tuples, sets, dictionaries, files, and more.
Let’s get this started!
