## 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.
