#!/usr/bin/env python # coding: utf-8 # Introduction to Python # === # Introduction to Python is a resource for students who want to learn Python as their first language, and for teachers who want a free and open curriculum to use with their students. # # If you are viewing the project through IPython Notebook Viewer, you might want to visit the student-facing pages at [introtopython.org](http://introtopython.org). There is a cleaner navigation there, and some better overall styling. # Start Learning Python # --- # If your computer is already set up to run Python programs, you can get started with [Hello World](http://nbviewer.ipython.org/urls/raw.github.com/ehmatthes/intro_programming/master/notebooks/hello_world.ipynb), your very first Python program. # Set Up Your Programming Environment # --- # If your computer is not yet set up to run Python programs, we can show you how to [get Python up and running](http://nbviewer.ipython.org/urls/raw.github.com/ehmatthes/intro_programming/master/notebooks/programming_environment.ipynb). # Contribute # --- # If you already know Python and would like to help build Introduction to Python, see the project's [GitHub page](https://github.com/ehmatthes/intro_programming). You might want to look at [Issue 17](https://github.com/ehmatthes/intro_programming/issues/17), which discusses a few specific ways you can contribute to the project. # Feedback # --- # If you have any questions or comments, feel free to get in touch: # # Overall feedback: [Issue 10](https://github.com/ehmatthes/intro_programming/issues/10) on GitHub. # Twitter: [@ehmatthes](https://twitter.com/ehmatthes) # Email: ehmatthes at gmail dot com # About # --- # I teach high school math and science, and I also teach an Introduction to Programming class each fall. This project started as a series of IPython Notebooks I wrote when teaching this year's programming class.
