Get Started with Python Programming
If you have never written a computer program before, and you would like to learn, creating some programs using Python is a good way to get started.
Note: These tutorials were written many years ago, before Microsoft loved Linux and transformed MonoDevelop into Visual Studio Code. The following tutorials are outdated, but left on this page for posterity sake.
===========
Before you can start writing your first Python program, you will have to setup your computer. The required steps will take about half an hour, and are described in our tutorial. By the end of the tutorial, you will have written a computer program to test the setup.
Once you have your computer setup and you have written a simple test program, you will want to begin writing more interesting and complex code. Our next tutorial will teach you how to use the IDLE development environment and debugger to make it easier to write sophisticated programs.
