Learning Python

The Python language is the CORE of all the software within DFR. It is critical that you are at the very least willing to learn the language, as otherwise your participation within the DFR Software team will be highly limited.

Already know another language?

If you are already familiar with another language and want to translate your skills over to Python, it should be relatively easy! Go ahead and check out Learn X in Y minutes' python write-up for the most straight forward examples of proper Python syntax.

You may also find any of the resources from the below section useful when learning Python for the first time.

Starting from scratch?
