Chapter 2: Your First Python Program

Chapter 2 was part of the sign-up task so hopefully you've all been through it. Just to let you know, don't be freaked out if you didn't understand the "first program"- it's not really meant to be your first ever python program so much as a showcase for things we learn later on in the book. Mark goes through and explains each portion of that program in the following chapters. If you have any other questions/comments in chapter 2, you can comment in this thread.
