Programpedia:Getting started
From Programpedia
Programming is quite easy once you learn to do it, and it gives you great power over the computer, power to make the computer do whatever you wish, in a way.
Follow these steps to get started:
- Download Python from this website (the official Python website; download links tested and no virus found). The link you must select to download Pyhton depends on the microprocesor and type of computer you have.
- In the Python folder, open the program Python IDLE (GUI). You will then see a type of spreadsheet, like Microsoft word, which is used for writing programing code. You may save and open your programs through the options at the top. You may also paste your source code for your program(s) here or you may send your program(s) through e-mail.
- Now comes the hard, but the best, part: Programming. Now, you may read the standard and official Python Manuals in the Python folder, but sometimes they may result somewhat confusing and hard to understand (like written for experts), so th best would be to try to read them (if you understand them) and, if you just don't understand them, ask help here. You may also, copy code from programs posted here to your program(s).
