Day 1

I am learning Python for automating IT tasks and documenting my process/progress here.
I am starting with “Crash Course on Python by Google” on Coursera which is part of Google IT Automation with Python Professional Certificate. The cost is $49/month.

The course uses Python 3.7. I installed Python 3.8.2 by typing “python3” in terminal, which installed the latest version of Python. I don’t know if this is going to end up being ok based on some things I have been reading. I know I can do all of the exercises in the course in a browser but I wanted to feel what it is like to do them in Terminal on my Mac. I am pasting this link on The right and wrong way to set Python 3 as default on a Mac here for future reference.
