Now that we are ready to start learning programming, there should be no more delays. There are so many programming languages to choose from but for our course, we would choose Python. or more precisely, Python 3. This is perhaps the most straightforward computer language currently and learning its basics would make it much easier for us to learn other languages like Java, C++, etc.
There are just a few things required. First of all, we would require a computer. The operating system doesn't really matter because Python is a cross-platform programming language.
Next, you would need to download and install Python 3 itself on your computer if you do not already have it installed. It is free of charge and can be found here https://www.python.org/downloads/. Just follow the instructions and that is it.
Installing Python 3 alone would enable you to run rudimentary commands but to actually be able to code, you would need an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) editor. There are many of them available like WING 101, PyCharm, jupyter. I personally prefer WING 101. Below are links to download them.
https://jupyter.org, https://www.jetbrains.com/, https://wingware.com/downloads/wing-101.
If you would prefer another IDE you could just search online for 'Python IDE'.
Once you follow all instructions and complete the installations, you would be ready to write your first program in Lesson One.
