Hi, this is Ardit, your instructor. In this video,

2
00:00:03,151 --> 00:00:05,460
I will give you an introduction to this section.

3
00:00:05,461 --> 00:00:08,520
So there are a few videos in this section just to

4
00:00:08,521 --> 00:00:11,430
get you started with Python, especially to set up

5
00:00:11,431 --> 00:00:15,840
Python on your computer correctly. So then I'll

6
00:00:15,841 --> 00:00:18,750
tell you what to expect from this section, and

7
00:00:18,780 --> 00:00:22,650
then we'll go ahead and start with the videos. So

8
00:00:23,070 --> 00:00:25,470
in this section, I'll install Python on my

9
00:00:25,471 --> 00:00:28,500
computer, on Windows, Mac,, and Linux or whatever

10
00:00:28,501 --> 00:00:31,050
computer you have. I'll give you the instructions on

11
00:00:31,051 --> 00:00:33,600
how to install Python, then we will install Visual

12
00:00:33,601 --> 00:00:39,120
Studio Code, which is an IDE and an IDE is a text

13
00:00:39,121 --> 00:00:42,270
editor, but it does have some extra features,

14
00:00:42,510 --> 00:00:46,410
which makes programming easier. So Visual Studio

15
00:00:46,411 --> 00:00:49,380
Code is my choice. So that's personal preference.

16
00:00:49,381 --> 00:00:53,430
It's a lightweight IDE, and since it's a personal

17
00:00:53,431 --> 00:00:56,400
preference, it means it's it's not mandatory that

18
00:00:56,401 --> 00:01:00,030
you use it. So feel free to use any IDE. Because

19
00:01:00,031 --> 00:01:01,920
the code that's I'll be writing of the videos will

20
00:01:01,921 --> 00:01:04,980
be the same no matter what IDE you're using. It's

21
00:01:04,981 --> 00:01:08,580
just a text editor. So once we install Python and

22
00:01:08,581 --> 00:01:10,920
Visual Studio code, then I'll give you an

23
00:01:10,921 --> 00:01:14,310
introduction to Python from a computer science

24
00:01:14,311 --> 00:01:17,070
perspective. So you will learn some key concepts,

25
00:01:17,100 --> 00:01:20,190
some secrets on what's really a programming

26
00:01:20,191 --> 00:01:24,660
language such as Python is. So with that I wish you

27
00:01:24,661 --> 00:01:28,000
success and have fun learning. See you in the next video.
