Visual Studio and Python

This week offers an interactive experience, providing opportunities to engage in exercises designed to enhance your understanding of Python programming.

To complete these exercises you will need to download the essential software to your computer and the files attached at the bottom of this page. 

Setup your device:

You will need to install Python and Microsoft Visual Studio Code on your computer (they are free).

Should you need to independently navigate and resolve any local technical difficulties that arise. You can refer to Google or another search engine and search your specific problem. Stackoverflow is a popular Q&A website for programming, you may find it useful asking technical questions there too. Please be aware, though, that we are unable to extend support regarding your own setup.
