What you should know

- [Instructor] To get the most out of this course, you should have a working knowledge of Python, but by no means do you need to be an expert. You should have some familiarity with data processing, and you should be comfortable with the command line. To follow along with this course, you'll need a modern computer with an Internet connection. You can use a Mac, a Linux, or a PC. I'm going to work on a Mac, but everything I demonstrate will work the same on other operating systems. If there are any differences, I'll point them out as we go along.

And you should have about five gigabytes of free disk space.
