Working with the code
The easiest way to work with this code it to run it on Colab, which is a
free service that runs Jupyter notebooks in a web browser.
For every chapter, I provide two notebooks: one contains the code from the
chapter and the exercises; the other also contains the solutions.

If you want to run these notebooks on your own computer, you can download
them individually from GitHub or
download the entire repository in a Zip file.
I developed this book using Anaconda, which is a free Python distribution that includes
all the packages you'll need to run the code (and lots more).
I found Anaconda easy to install. By default it does a user-level
installation, so you don't need administrative
privileges. You can download it here.
