Chapter 1: Your First Python Program

[joshuamabina]

Hi there,

Writing this with hope it finds you well and keeping safe during these unprecedented times of the COVID19 pandemic.

Regarding the subject:

I like to think that I am huge JavaScript fanatic. Frankly, I am one of those chaps who feel the urge to do everything in JS, even if I don't really have to 😂

To some good stuff, for the up-and-coming weeks, join us as we explore what it takes to #DiveIntoPython based on the book, "Dive Into Python, by Mark Pilgrim". FYI, the goal of this first event, is to discuss the general idea of the book, and extract some insights from the very first three (3) chapters.

All of that being said, I am very excited and can not wait to see you all. For your viewing pleasure, the event details following below.
