-Sample code and other assorted materials are sorted by date. There are also resources listed for [installing](./installing.md) and [learning](./learning.md) Python. It's a big help to everyone if you have Python and a text editor already installed when you come to class, but if you're having problems we'll do our best to sort you out!

Don't worry if you already have Python 2 installed or are using it with another class or tutorial, though. We can work with both!

+### A few notes on why it's great to learn Python
 
 :snake: It's free. You can download it for free, there are ways to learn it for free, and there's a whole range of packages available for free. There may be a time when you want to pay for classes, but you can get started without a major investment.
 
 :snake: It's easy. Other languages make you remember strange commands or keep track of curly braces everywhere. Not so with Python. That makes it a great beginner programing language.
 
 :snake: It's everywhere. It's a powerful language that is used by a wide variety of companies and organizations to solve all sorts of problems, including areas you don't think of as software problems. Python is used in large tech companies, political organizations, in academia and more.
 
-:snake: It's community-focused. Python exists soley because of volunteers and has a great community both online and off that connects people. There are plenty of meetups here in DC and throughout the area, plus there are conferences around the world. The Python community is known for being open, encouraging, and welcoming to newcomers!

 It can't be said enough -- one of the best ways to learn to code is to sit down and work on an exercise or project and learn as you go. You'll get lots of errors, but those are actually a great way to understand how Python works.

 * If you're getting an error, type that exact wording of the error and ideally what you were doing to cause it.
 * Know what you're working with. It can help to add which version of Python you're using, the Operating System, even things like the module you're working with.

 If you're looking at this, you're already taking steps to learn Python. Congratulations! Hopefully we'll see you at a PythonLab to learn more, but we know there's a wide range of interests, learning styles, and levels of commitment out there. That's why we put together a list of other resources for learning Python available online and in the DC area.
 
 Try out a few, see what works for you! Let us know if you have any particular good or bad experiences with something of if we haven't listed a resource you like.
