Starting with my Compu 1 class…

First of all, I needed to create a Lynda account to be aware of tutorials and online courses and review all the material.

Lynda is a website that will be useful all the semester, and future school courses.

Then, I downloaded Python on my computer, which has a Windows operative system. So I needed to go to the Python official website to get the software.

I chose the Windows x86-64 embeddable zip file, downloaded it and extracted the files.
