Steps to follow:

Step 1 - Logging into coding environment

Step 1a - Logging into Google Colab

** If you don't have a google account, skip to Step 1b **

• Go to https://colab.research.google.com
• Sign in to your google account
• If you are new to google colab notebook, watch this Youtube video - Get started with Google Colaboratory (Coding TensorFlow)

Step 1b - Jupyter Notebook in Browser

** If the notebook disconnects/ dies often, consider Step 1c. Many students have reported that that connection is not stable**

• Go to https://jupyter.org/try
• Click on "Try Jupyter with Python". This will launch an online jupyter notebook using binder

Step 1c - Jupyter Notebook Installation

• If you want to install jupyter notebook into your computer,
  • Go to https://www.anaconda.com/distribution/,
  • Download Anaconda and
  • Install it
  • Click Start > Anaconda > Jupter Notebook (in Windows)

Step 2 - Opening a notebook

• Click File > New Python 3 Notebook to create a new .ipynb file online
• Wondering what's a notebook?
  • Think of it like a word document where you can write your python code, run and see the outputs, add comments and notes, insert images, etc. in one place.
