Using other learning resources

In the Links and Further Reading document in the external resources, I've included links to some additional resources to learn Python. Some are a bit more interactive or more comprehensive then what I've provided here. There are plenty of great tutorials out there for Python, so if you do choose to go elsewhere for the basics, there are a couple of things to keep in mind:

• The code in this book is written Python 3 and not Python 2. Python 2 and Python 3 aren't that different, but if you learn Python 2 first, be prepared for some minor differences.
• The content of this book will require you to run Python on your local machine, so be sure to familiarize yourself with how to write and run code locally. Many online tutorials will have an interactive environment for you to work with in your browser; however, these tutorials will not cover the process of writing and running code in your own computer.
