Are you new to Python programming?

If you are new to Python programming, read following document to learn about basic Python programming.

• "The Python Tutorial"
  • https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/

If you prefer to read the traditional Chinese version of "The Python Tutorial", try following.

• https://docs.python.org/zh-tw/3/tutorial/

If you have any difficulty for reading "The Python Tutorial" alone, come and talk to me. We may be able to arrange a group meeting to read "The Python Tutorial" together.

Do you need a crash course for basic Python programming? If so, come and talk to me.
