Welcome to the Gentle Hands-on Introduction to Python course for June, 2023! We are looking forward to seeing you in person!

There are 4 things we request that you do in preparation for the course.

1. Confirm your participation and help us tailor the course to your needs by completing
   a short pre-course questionnaire.
   Please complete this form as soon as possible. It should not take more than a few minutes. If you cannot attend, please respond to this
   email as soon as possible so that your place can be taken by someone on the long waiting list.

2. Either: Install the software we will be using. A video tutorial is available via YouTube.

   • VSCodium
   • Python
     • Windows
     • Apple OSX
     • GNU/Linux: Install the appropriate package from your package manager

   Or: if, for whatever reason, these options do not work for you then you can use your Google account to access Google Colab. You can start here.

3. If you are using VSCodium: Download the course materials from here. Then unzip them somewhere on your computer that is not a network drive.

4. Use this link to join the class on hedycode.com and create an account. For detailed instructions see: https://github.com/vibbits/gentle-hands-on-python#hedy

Once you're set up, you can read through the "01_Introduction" notebook. If something does not work for you, please don't worry. We will sort it out at the beginning of day 1.

We look forward to programming with you soon. Until then, please feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns.
