Getting Started Tutorials¶
Getting help¶
We recommend creating a GitHub account before starting the tutorials if you don't have one already. While not mandatory, having an account will enable you to ask questions on our forum.
Expected duration¶
Python Experts: Tutorials 1-4 will take under 1 hour total, while tutorials 5-8 will take 2-3 hours total
Beginners: If you're new to coding, we suggest you dedicate 1-2 hrs per tutorial in order to fully understand the concepts introduced in each. Please note that tutorials 5-8 cover advanced topics and are entirely optional.
Other software used¶
Some tutorials will ask beginners to install extra programs to aid with specific tasks:
- Anaconda or Miniforge
- Docker-Desktop (optional)
- Spyder IDE (optional)
- DBeaver (optional)
While there are paid tiers for some of these, you will not need them. Stick with the free versions.
