 ## Overview
 
-The series of videos on Channel 9 is designed to help get you up to speed on Python. If you're a beginning developer who's looking to add Python to your quiver of languages, or trying to get started on a data science or web project, these videos can help teach you the foundation necessary to walk through a quick start or other tutorial.
+These threes series on Channel 9 and YouTube are designed to help get you up to speed on Python. If you're a beginning developer looking to add Python to your quiver of languages, or trying to get started on a data science or web project which uses Python, these videos are here to help show you the foundations necessary to walk through a tutorial or other quick start.
+
+We do assume you are familiar with another programming language, and some core programming concepts. For example, we highlight the syntax for boolean expressions and creating classes, but we don't dig into what a [boolean](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boolean_data_type) is or [object oriented design](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object-oriented_design). We show you how to perform the tasks you're familiar with in other languages in Python.
 
 ### What you'll learn
 
 - The basics of Python
-- Starting a project
 - Common syntax
-- Package management
-
-### What we don't cover
-
-- Class design and inheritance
-- Asynchronous programming
-- Basics of programming
+- Popular packages
 
 ## Prerequisites
 
+- Light experience with another programming language, such as [JavaScript](https://www.edx.org/course/javascript-introduction), [Java](https://www.java.com) or [C#](https://docs.microsoft.com/dotnet/csharp/)
 - [An understanding of Git](https://git-scm.com/book/en/v1/Getting-Started)
-- Light experience with another programming language, such as [JavaScript](https://www.edx.org/course/javascript-introduction)
+
+## Courses
+
+### Getting started
+
+[Python for beginners](https://aka.ms/pythonbeginnerseries) is the perfect starting location for getting started. No Python experience is required! We'll show you how to set up [Visual Studio Code](https://code.visualstudio.com?WT.mc_id=python-c9-niner) as your code editor, and start creating Python code. You'll see how to manage create, structure and run your code, how to manage packages, and even make [REST calls](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Representational_state_transfer).
+
+### Dig a little deeper
+
+[More Python for beginners](https://aka.ms/morepython) digs deeper into Python syntax. You'll explore how to create classes and mixins in Python, how to work with the file system, and introduce `async/await`. This is the perfect next step if you're looking to see a bit more of what Python can do.
+
+### Peek at data science tools
+
+[Even more Python for beginners](https://aka.ms/evenmorepython) is a practical exploration of a couple of the most common packages and tools you'll use when working with data and machine learning. While we won't dig into why you choose particular machine learning models (that's another course), you will get hands on with Jupyter Notebooks, and create and test models using scikit-learn and pandas.
 
 ## Next steps

+# Anaconda
+
+[Anaconda](https://www.anaconda.com/) is an open source distribution of Python and R for data science. It includes more than 1500 packages, a graphical interface called Anaconda Navigator, a command line interface called Anaconda prompt and a tool called Conda.
+
+## Conda
+
+Python code often relies on external libraries stored in packages. Conda is an open source package management system and environment management system. Conda helps you manage environments and install packages for Jupyter Notebooks.
