Understand Python basics

Look, I get it

I really do - learning to code is the worst. It makes you feel stupid when you know you’re not, it requires attention (Most of you will not make it through this introduction) and some amount of dedication.

I want to help you…

I promise we are not going to write a single line of code here…

Learning Python: Start Here

I’m willing to bet that many of you have sat down at least once over the last year with the intention of grasping the basics of Python, only to give up after a few YouTube videos.

The problem? You’re trying to run before you can walk.

Python finally started to click for me when I took the time to understand these three fundamentals

One: Virtual environments

Let’s start with virtual environments. They allow developers to maintain separate libraries for each project, preventing conflicts between dependencies. Think of it like having a dedicated workspace for each of your projects.

Side Note: If you want me to break it down further or need help installing Python, let me know.

Here’s how to create a virtual environment:

• Open your terminal or command prompt.

• Navigate to the desktop:

cd Desktop

• Create a folder for your project

mkdir learnPython
