• First thing you need to learn Python is to learn about IDE.

What is IDE?

Place where you write the code.

• Integrated Development Environment.

  • NetBeans - Primarily for Java, PHP
  • Xcode - Official IDE for Apple platforms.
  • Android Studio - Official IDE for Android app development

• Although, most IDEs supports wide range of languages, but in real world, they are primarly used for a particular Programming language.

• We are going to use VS Code for our tutorial.

Why VS Code, not Others?

• Lightweight but Powerful source code editor
• Integrate with almost anything reuired for software Development.
• Available and Consistent on Windows, macOS and Linux.

Why VS Code, not JupyterLab?

• JupyterLab? is INTERACTIVE Development Environment, not INTEGRATED Development Environment.
• We are going to utilize JupyterLab inside VS Code.

How to Download & Install VS Code?
