Getting started

1. Install VSCode
2. Join course Github page from the invitation email I send. Fork the repository to your account and clone it to your local machine.
3. Create a new Python environment. I recommend using Conda for this, but you can also use virtualenv. This will protect our system Python installation from any changes we make.
   1. If you're using Conda, you can create a new environment with the following command:

      conda create -n [pick-a-name] python=3.12
      

4. In VSCode, install Black Formatter. Using a consistent formatter will help us keep our code clean and readable and reduce minor changes in our commits. We will use Black as our default formatter
