Python 1: Getting Started

Installation

After completing the Python 1 workshop, if you haven’t set up your computer for coding in Python, here are some things to keep in mind.

You can use a text editor on your computer, but there are also plenty of free Integrated Development Environments (IDE’s) out there that help make the coding process smoother. One such IDE that is widely used is Visual Studio Code (code.visualstudio.com). It’s free, customizable, and available on both Mac and PC. Here is some information to help with getting started.
