Getting started

What you need to do to get ready

To truly benefit from this subject you will need to participate actively during the tutorial but also on your own on your computer.

Before week 2

The first thing that you will need to do is to download the Python interactive notebooks from here and upload them in your own CloudStor (the notebook files are in a subfolder and end with .ipynb). This page will help you to understand how to do it.

What you can do to get even readier

If you are unfamiliar with coding

We recommend that you have a look at this python-specific program. But you can complete another tutorial if that looks more interesting to you. You can see other examples here.

If you are really interested in coding, we recommend that you complete this tutorial on Lynda.com: Learning Python.

Get familiar with the command line

If you are a Mac user: Spend some time playing around with the command line in Terminal and test out some of the commands in this tutorial.

If you use PC: Read through this tutorial and experiment with the command line.
