<h4>Python Tutorial<a class="headerlink" href="#python-tutorial" title="Link to this heading"></a></h4>
<p>Tutorials come in many forms, but I define a python “tutorial” as a quick high-level introduction, designed to kick start your python programming. It should give you enough to get something done, but not provide a lot of detailed explanations. If you have been doing a bit of python coding already, or have taken an introductory programing class with Python, then you may be able to skip this step.</p>
<p>Every one of you has a different background and learning style. So take a bit of time to figure out which resource works for you.</p>
<p><a class="reference internal" href="../modules/Learning.html#python-learning-resources"><span class="std std-ref">Useful Python Learning Resources</span></a></p>
<p>Provides some options. Do look it over.</p>

<section id="python-basics">
<h3>Python Basics<a class="headerlink" href="#python-basics" title="Link to this heading"></a></h3>
<p>If you are comfortable with the materials in a tutorial, it’s time for some more in-depth discussion. Here are a few options to get you started this week:</p>
<p>Finish Reading: <a class="reference internal" href="../modules/BasicPython.html#basic-python-syntax"><span class="std std-ref">Basic Python</span></a></p>
<p>Read: <a class="reference internal" href="../modules/Functions.html#more-on-functions"><span class="std std-ref">More on Functions</span></a></p>
<p>Read: <a class="reference internal" href="../modules/Documentation.html#documentation"><span class="std std-ref">Documentation</span></a></p>
</section>
<section id="supplemental-reading">
<h3>Supplemental Reading<a class="headerlink" href="#supplemental-reading" title="Link to this heading"></a></h3>
<p>If that is too fast, then here are some good options for another look:</p>
<p><em>Think Python:</em> Chapters 1–6 (<a class="reference external" href="http://greenteapress.com/thinkpython2/html/index.html">http://greenteapress.com/thinkpython2/html/index.html</a>)</p>
<p><em>Dive Into Python:</em> Chapters 1–2 (<a class="reference external" href="http://www.diveintopython3.net/">http://www.diveintopython3.net/</a>)</p>
<p><em>LPTHW:</em> ex. 1–10, 18-21 (<a class="reference external" href="https://learnpythonthehardway.org/python3/">https://learnpythonthehardway.org/python3/</a>)</p>
<p>(note: LPTHW used to be totally free –now it looks like you may only get a sneak peak – darn! – but the first few “chapters” are available)</p>
<p><strong>GOAL</strong></p>
<p>You should be comfortable with working with variables, numbers, strings, and basic functions before the next class.</p>
</section>
<section id="git">
<h3>git<a class="headerlink" href="#git" title="Link to this heading"></a></h3>
<p>We are only using a small subset of git functionality for this class,
but if you feel lost, and/or want to know more, these are some good resources:</p>
