There are a ton of resources to learn the basics of Python and I cannot necessarily write better ones.
Here are some options I recommend—in decreasing order—along with what sections will be relevant for this course.

- [Software Carpentry](https://software-carpentry.org/lessons/)
- [kaggle learn](https://www.kaggle.com/learn/): "Intro to Programming", "Intro to Machine Learning", "Python", and "Pandas" courses.
- [Software Carpentry](https://software-carpentry.org/lessons/)
- [learnpython.org](https://www.learnpython.org/): "Learn the Basics" and "Data Science Tutorials".
- [Google's Python Class](https://developers.google.com/edu/python): Everything.
- [Byte of Python](https://python.oasci.org/external/byte-of-python/): Everything
- [Byte of Python](../external/byte-of-python/): Everything

I am a huge fan of the [Real Python](https://realpython.com/) website; it is my go-to place for learning more about Python.

## Computers are dumb

One common misconception is that computers are "smart"; quite the contrary.
Computers perform only the exact instructions that programmers tell them.
If you leave something out or have a simple typo, then the computer will panic and not know what to do.
Keep this in mind when you are on your programming journey.

## 🎯 Learning objectives
!!! note "Computers are precise but not intuitive"

TODO:
A common misconception is that computers are "smart." In reality, computers are incredibly precise but lack intuition.
They only execute the exact instructions provided by programmers.
If you omit a detail or make a simple typo, the computer will encounter an error and stop.
Remember this as you embark on your programming journey: clarity and precision are key to effective coding.
