|-

|| '''Title Slide'''

| Welcome to this '''spoken tutorial '''on '''Getting Started with Python in Google Colab.'''

|-

|| '''Learning Objectives Slide'''

| In this tutorial, we will learn to -

* Use '''Google Colab'''

* '''Run''' a '''Python code''' for the '''Hello World program'''

* Create and use '''Variables''' and '''Strings'''

* '''Format output '''using '''f-strings'''

* '''Run''' the '''print function'''

|-

|| ''' Disclaimer Content Slide'''

| As Al tools constantly evolve, if you are unable to locate any icon or encounter difficulty at any step, you may use any conversational Al Chatbot for guidance.

|-

|| '''System Requirement '''

| To record this tutorial, I am using:
* A '''laptop '''with an''' internet connection.'''
* A web browser such as '''Chrome''', '''Firefox''', or '''Edge'''. 
* An active '''Google account to '''access '''Google Colab.'''

|-

|| '''Pre-requisite Slide '''

| To follow this tutorial, the learner should be familiar with basic''' computing.'''

No prior '''Python programming''' experience is required.

|| Show slide: Why Python?

| '''Python''' is widely used for '''Artificial Intelligence'''.

|-

|| Show slide: Easy to read. Global community.

| It is a simple and powerful programming language.

It is easy to read and learn.

|-

||  Community

| A large global community builds many free '''tools''' for '''Python'''.

|-

|| Show Google Colab homepage

| We will use '''Google Colab, a cloud-based editor''' in this tutorial.

|-

|| Show browser address bar with colab.research.google.com

| Open any '''web browser''' and Log into your '''Google account. '''

Now in  the '''address bar''' type  and press enter. 

|-

|| Show Google Colab welcome page

| '''Welcome to Colab '''webpage''' '''opens with an '''Open notebook '''pop-up window.

|-

|| Highlight “New Notebook” button

| To begin, we will create a '''new notebook. '''

For that, we will go to the bottom left of the pop-up window.

Then''' click '''on the tab''' plus New notebook.'''

|-

|| Show '''Untitled0.ipynb'''

'''practice.ipynb'''

| A new webpage opens. 

A file name appears on the top left corner of the webpage. 

By default it  is named as this: 

Let us rename this as shown on the screen. 

This '''file''' is automatically saved to your '''Google drive. '''

|-

|| Show blank Colab code cell

| Now we are ready to write '''Python code'''.

|-

|| Code cell

| Notice the '''input bar here''', it says''' Start coding or generate with AI.'''

|-

|| Type print("Hello World") in cell

| In a new '''code cell''' type:

'''print''' then '''open parenthesis '''followed by double quotes. '''Hello World '''in between the double quotes.

Now, press '''Shift''' and''' Enter''' '''Keys''' together.

Notice the''' loading icon''', it means the '''output''' is getting generated. 

Here it is .

The '''output''' says '''Hello World.''' 

|-

|| Show Hello World output

| Congratulations. You have '''run''' your first '''Python program'''.

|-

|| Show slide: Variables and Strings — step by step

| Now, we will learn about '''Variables''' and '''Strings''' step by step.

|-

|| product_name = "Smart Coffee Mug"

| In a new cell, type '''product underscore name space equal to space double quotes open Smart Coffee Mug close double quotes'''

|-

|| Press '''Shift''' and''' Enter''' '''Keys''' together.

| Now, press '''Shift''' and''' Enter''' '''Keys''' together.

|-

|| product_name="Smart Coffee Mug"

| This saves the '''text '''inside a '''variable''' named '''product underscore name.'''

|-

|| product_name

| To check the value, in a new''' cell''' type: '''product underscore name'''

Now, press '''Shift '''and '''Enter''' '''Keys''' together  to view the value.

|-

|| Show output ‘Smart Coffee Mug’

| You can see the stored '''text''', '''Smart Coffee Mug'''

|-

||  type(product_name)

| Now, let's check the''' data type.'''

In a new cell, '''type''' this command: '''type parenthesis open  product underscore name parenthesis close'''

Now, press '''Shift '''and '''Enter''' '''Keys''' together.

|-

|| Show output <class 'str'>

| The '''output''' is '''s t r, '''which stands for '''string.'''

This is the '''format''' '''Python''' uses for '''text'''.

|-

|| New code cell

| To open a new cell, press '''plus code''' button. 

If you already have a new cell, you may ignore this step.

|-

|| print("Product:", product_name)

| Now type the following '''print open parenthesis double quotes Product colon close quote comma product underscore name close parenthesis '''

Now, press '''Shift '''and '''Enter''' '''Keys''' together 

|-

|| Display of product and variable

| Here, '''Product''' is the '''text''' and '''product underscore name''' is the '''variable'''.

Notice how both are displayed on the same line.

|-

|| greeting=f"Welcome to {product_name}"

| Now pause the video and type the '''command '''

'''Greeting ''''''is equal to f double quote Welcome to open braces product underscore name close braces'''

Now press '''shift''' and '''enter''' '''keys''' together.

|-

|| greeting = f"Welcome to {product_name}"

| This '''line''' uses an '''f-string.'''

|-

|| Type greeting = f"Welcome to {product_name}"

| '''f '''tells '''Python''' to insert the '''variable''' value inside the '''string'''.

|-

|| print(greeting)

| Type '''print '''now '''open parenthesis greeting close parenthesis''' and press '''Shift '''and '''Enter '''keys together.

Notice the output. 

|-

|| Welcome to Smart Coffee Mug

| This is how '''variables''' and '''strings''' work together.

|-

|| '''Slide: Summary'''

| In this tutorial, we learnt to:

Set up and use '''Google Colab.'''

'''Execute''' the first '''Hello World program.'''

Practice using the '''print function.'''

Create and use '''variables''' and '''strings.'''

|-

|| '''Slide: Assignment'''

1) Open Google Colab

2) Create your own product_name variable

3) Print a greeting using that variable

| Now, here is an assignment for you.
