We will be using Google’s Colab service to make it easy to follow along. No need to install Python locally - you only need a browser. Our code will be running in a Jupyter notebook using Google’s resources.
To access a Python notebook just follow the link below and then click on ‘File’ > ‘Save a copy in Drive…’

Colab Python Notebook

Once you have copied the notebook to your Google Drive you can edit, execute and work on it.
