## Textbook

We will be using *Python for Everybody by Charles Severance* for this course. You can access the textbook for free using [this link](http://do1.dr-chuck.com/pythonlearn/EN_us/pythonlearn.pdf) (<http://do1.dr-chuck.com/pythonlearn/EN_us/pythonlearn.pdf>).

## Using Python

Normally, you can install Python on your computer using a tool called [Anaconda](https://www.anaconda.com/download/). However, since not everyone has access to a computer, we will be hosting Python for you.

**You can access the Python instance for this course here:** [pythonwith.hanwa.ng](https://pythonwith.hanwa.ng)

**Alternate URL:** [elb.pythonwith.hanwa.ng](https://elb.pythonwith.hanwa.ng)

{% hint style="info" %}
Your username is your registration code and your password is your email address.
{% endhint %}

Once logged in, you will be able to view coding examples from class sessions and download your homework assignments.
