Hello and welcome to the Coding is Easy in Google Colab resources. This README file captures the components of this folder and recommends an order to review them. Further resources are in the PCR-IO YouTube playlist

2.0 Getting started with Google Colab - Guide This mini-guide points students to the resources to add Colab to their apps and links a video to help them navigate the application once inside.

2.1.1 Python Follow Along.ipynb This Colab notebook has students follow along with Programming with Mosh’s video: Python for Beginners - Learn Python in 1 Hour. The cells in the notebook make space and prompt students to try: hello world, variables, receiving input, type conversions, strings, arithmetic operators, comparison/logical operators, if statements, while loops, lists, for loops, the range function, and tuples. Notebook Author: Ryan Caster .

2.1.2 Test your knowledge This colab notebook houses a few “homework assignments” for students to work through. These are common in Python courses and culminates with the “christmas tree assignment” as written by Andrew Leaver-Fay. Notebook authored by Ryan Caster .

2.2.1_plotting_intro.ipynb In this colab notebook, students will learn to import packages and apply their coding skills to do intro-level data visualizations with plots. This notebook assumes that students are working in a shared drive. If you’d like help getting a shared drive set up for your class, please reach out to . This notebook was authored by Hugh Haddox.

2.2.2_plotting_heatmaps.ipynb In this colab notebook, students will learn to make heatmaps in Python. The code block is followed by a series of questions, asking students to interpret the data shown in the heatmap. This notebook was authored by Hugh Haddox.
