Starting with python — in 1 min

A lot of friends have asked — so here’s a tailored way to learn python that I believe is the smoothest way to get into programming.

Intro

First of all, you should know that gone are the days when people used to setup tools, download languages, download IDEs and all that stuff on their computer and then they would run their first program on the computer.

Today you can setup your development environment within 1 min.

Real Talk

Here’s how you setup your environment:

• Go to https://www.kaggle.com/learn/python
• Click on the first lesson

Just fork your first notebook and your environment is ready. You will also need to sign up if not already.

Now your environment is ready.

What you are seeing on the screen after the fork is called a Notebook.

Notebook is an interactive environment.

Notebook can be used as a notepad as well as a python programming platform

This is how you use a notebook:

The following gif is 6mb, so it might take some time to load

Now your environment is setup

And your first lesson is in the notebook itself.

Just start reading this notebook and start experimenting.

Offcourse there are many more things you can do in a notebook and a whole universe of possibilites in python

Happy Coding!
