We start the lessons with  Jupyter Notebook as the IDE.  The lessons are arranged in such a way that it should take about 20 minutes for to complete each day\u2019s lesson in a relaxed manner ( including starting Anaconda, opening your Notebook etc.) <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before Lesson 1 starts,  all the installation work needs to be done!  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>P.S. Lessons were originally made for an ex-student of mine,  Kaisar Kabir with whom I share some geeky interests.  I\u2019d make the lessons daily and send it to him and he would return screenshots of his work with queries or comments at a time of his convenience within the next 24 hours. I\u2019d give feedback, and then send him the next lesson.  This model was used on a few more interested students\/ ex-students of mine.  Among them Tahia Islam also has been helping me improve the pedagogical nature of the lessons.  So thanks to Tahia and Kaisar!  <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are just starting out with Python \u2013 this might be manageable bits of daily  self-study for you!  Feel free to contact me if you have any query or confusion. Would also be honored and happy to receive any feedback to improve the lessons and\/or clean up typos. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/lamiaiftekhar.com\/index.php\/20-minutes-python-day-1\/\" target=\"_blank\">Day 1:<\/a>  Just print stuff!<\/li><li><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/lamiaiftekhar.com\/index.php\/20-minutes-python-day-2\/\" target=\"_blank\">Day 2:<\/a>  Some basic commands to make life easier<\/li><li><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/lamiaiftekhar.com\/index.php\/20-minutes-python-day-3\/\" target=\"_blank\">Day 3:<\/a>  The name is Markdown.
