Intro to sandbox

In class: XP1-4 (Intro, Installation, and Modifying a program) -- this is not strictly following the text book but hitting the same "key concepts"

for next time -- read and do exercises including the "FREE exercises", trying multiple ways:

• XP4: Calculating and Using Jupyter Notebook
• XP5: Double, Double
• XP6: Programming Fundamentals

Stop when it's too much. It's about exploring!

Collect the notebooks you made in the carrier-bag-of-notebooks:

1. File > Export notebook as ... > HTML
2. save it on your computer
3. then, on the yet-to-be-named server: navigate to shared/html/carrier-bag-of-notebooks
4. drag and drop the .html file in week 1

And a note about the NLTK chapter: in the section Getting Started with NLTK, it includes a step in which you are asked to download a dataset, you can skip this, it is already downloaded on the yet-to-be-named server.
