Python Resources

To get started with Python, you need a Python interpreter and a text to follow.

Python Book

The text I recommend is How to Think Like a Computer Scientist, by Allen Downey et al. This book was released for free, so there are several editions.

• online book
• interactive online book - includes interpreter
• paper book

You could also use the official Python 3 tutorial. It is great, but you would need to make up your own exercises.

Python Interpreter

You either need Python installed locally on your computer, or use an online interpreter.

Online:

• Repl.it Python3.
• Repl.it Python Turtle. I only use this for turtle graphics.

Local:

• Anaconda with Python 3

On the school computers, you can use the version of Python installed on the shared drive.
