Welcome to the Gravitation Wave Open Science Center tutorial that I am following and learning from! Here you will find my learning process as I move through this tutorial.

Here is what I am using: Anaconda

Python

• There are different ways of understanding Python:
• • Language – Python is a scripting language which means that, once you run your code, your computer can “understand” the commands and will build and execute the program
• • • This is what most beginning programmers think of when learning about Python
• Specification – this means that you the user can figure out how you want to use Python the programming language
• • To do this you need an interpreter, and each has its own unique features
• • • Interpreter – this is a type of program that reads and executes the instructions or code
• • • • Examples – Jpython (Python code  Java), CPython (Python is go-between for C and other languages)
• • Python is translated into bytecode that is then executed by an instructor
• • • Bytecode – instructions that are followed by a Virtual Machine
