About the Course

We will get acquainted with the Python programming language (Python 3). You can use any operating system (Linux, Windows, Mac). If you want, you can bring your own laptop. All we need is a text editor (like Notepad++, GEdit, vim, Visual Studio Code, etc.). It's up to you which one you use. In your text editor you should set that TAB is automatically changed to 4 spaces. In GEdit you can do that like this: Edit → Preferences, then select the Editor tab. The value of Tab Width should be 4, and select Insert spaces instead of tabs. You can do this setting in every modern text editor.
