Watch the course videos

All lectures are on the course YouTube playlist. The repository README and each module folder link to the relevant videos in order.

Set up your environment

Module 1 walks through environment setup, including Python, Docker, and an optional cloud VM. See Environment Setup for the high-level decisions before you start.

4. Complete the homework assignment.
5. Check the cohort folder for cohort-specific materials and deadlines.
