Learning these skills will allow you to much more easily program in other languages besides Python. The best way to learn is through active participation.

In many places, you will only be able to see what Python does by doing it yourself (in a hands-on fashion). The tutorial will often not show. Among the most common and important words in the tutorial are “Try this”
