Reading: Welcome to The Class
Welcome to Getting Started with Python, the first class in our Python for Everybody Specialization. We have built this class specifically for those with no prior programming experience. With a relatively simple book, and basic exercises that focus on the core concepts of programming, we hope that you will gain a solid understanding of the topics in this course and be well prepared to take the rest of the courses in the specialization.
歡迎開始使用Python，Python系列課程的的課程一對于每個人來說都是專業的。我們創建了這門課程專門為之前沒有編程經驗的人。通過一些相關的簡單的書籍，和一些關注編程核心概念的基礎練習，我們希望你能夠對這門課程的主題有透徹的理解，并且準備好學習該專業剩余的課程
We expect that someone who knows another programming language and is just trying to learn Python should be able to go through the material in this class in 2-3 weeks, while someone with no programming will take 5-6 weeks. Please take your time and learn these concepts well, as there is little value rushing towards the later classes without proper preparation.
我們期待那些了解其他編程語言，并且正在想要嘗試學習Python的人，應該能夠在2-3周學會這門課程的資料，而那些沒有編程經驗的人則需要5-6周。請花點時間好好學習那些概念，因為如果沒有恰當的準備就急著學習后面的課程是沒有價值的。（注：必須打好基礎，再往下進行，循序漸進，不可急功近利。）
We keep this first section as a source of course-wide material so you can come back and reference it as you need to throughout the class.
我們讓第一章節作為課程范圍材料的來源，所以當你需要通篇瀏覽整個課程的時候，你能回來參考它。（注：簡單說就是，課程需要的材料都在最開始介紹了，以后需要了或者忘了，你可以去開頭看）
Note: The Open Michigan materials mentioned in the previous video are available at www.py4e.com.
說明：在之前的視頻中提及的密歇根大學開放的資料在www.py4e.com網站是可以獲得的。
理解
這是一篇課程概述，對于我來說，之前有編程經驗，所以課程材料應該3周內全讀完，擴展資料去網站找，課程材料在第一章節找。
