## Intro and how to use
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Google Colab is a webpage where you can write and run Python code. We will use it for this course and for the Practical Data Science one heavily.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you have a gmail account, you have access to Colab by default and for free. Since you have a gmail account with UPF, you don't need to register anywhere. To access colab, simply:
|
||
|
|
- Log into your gmail account
|
||
|
|
- Head to colab.research.google.com
|
||
|
|
- Create a new notebook, or open one that is already in your account.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Your notebooks will be saved in your Google Drive automatically. You can also download them if you need them. You can also upload the class notebooks I provide to you in the course to play with them.
