Goal #1: install a text editor
(Estimated completion time: 2 - 10 minutes)
We need a good text editor (not a word processor!) for editing Python code.
If you already have a preferred text editor, you can use it instead, but note that word processors like Microsoft Word and Notepad will not work.
Goal #2: create an account on OpenHatch.org
(Estimated completion time: 2 minutes)
OpenHatch is a non-profit that helps connect people with open source projects. We'll use some of the tools on this site to practice.
(Estimated completion time: 10 - 15 minutes)
Many of the tools of open source development are primarily used via the command line. Let's get some practice with navigating the computer from the command line.
Goal #3: install an IRC client
IRC is a real-time chat protocol that open source projects often use to talk about the project and as a medium for users and developers to help each other.
