From the course: Advanced Python
What you should know
- [Instructor] Before we begin, there are some important concepts that you should be already familiar with. First, you should be familiar with using developer tools such as text editors. We're going to be writing Python code in this course and Python is, of course, just a text format, so you can use whatever text editor you want. But for this course, I'll be using Visual Studio Code. It's a free tool from Microsoft and runs on Mac, Windows, and Linux, and you can download it from code.visualstudio.com. It also has a rich ecosystem of plugins available which we will take advantage of in the course. If you'd like to learn more about Visual Studio Code, you can check out the course, Visual Studio Code for Web Developers. You should also already be familiar with the basics of Python programming. This course assumes that you already understand the fundamentals of the language, such as how to write functions, use conditional statements and variables, and so on. I'm also going to assume that you have Python Three installed on your computer. If you feel like you need to brush up on your basic Python skills, you can check out Learning Python, or the more comprehensive, Python Essential Training. I've also included exercise files to go along with my course. I've placed the exercise files folder on my desktop for convenience, but you can put it anywhere you want on your computer. When you're comfortable with these subjects, you're ready to proceed with the course.
