Are you a 1^st year student?

For first year students we recommend going through the:

• Terminal

• IDLE

The Visual Studio code section will be introduced during the semester, so this can wait until introduced in the courses.

Here you will find the essential tools needed to prepare to code in Python. The following sections function as short introductions, helping you understand the basics of these tools.

• The Terminal is the most direct line of communication between you and your computer

• IDLE (only recommended for students taking 02002/02003)

• Visual Studio Code is a strong tool for writing and editing Python code

• Packages and environments allow you to organize your Python installation and packages
