Описание: Recorded in class on 6/30/25 touching on some parts of getting started with programming and zyBooks. This recording does not cover every concept in the chapter, but more of start to how zyBooks works while running some of the assignments together. Chapter 1 introduces the basics of programming. It starts with an overview of what programming is and then focuses on using Python as a programming language. The chapter explains how to handle basic input and output in programs, and it also looks at common errors you might face. It introduces Integrated Development Environments (IDEs), which help you write and test code more easily. It also covers the history of programming languages to show how coding has evolved. Finally, it highlights why whitespace (like spaces and indentations) is important in Python, helping make the code clearer and easier to understand.
