This is a guide for installing python and pygame to your operating system. 

For the purpose of this lessons the installation procedure guides you to install python version 3.x and pygame version 1.9.x

These are some extra resources that you can use to go further than our course.

In the first section of the first week we will learn how to send the output of a program to the screen and how to read from the keyboard.

In this second section we will start to learn how to control the flow of the algorithm using the if statement 

You can view a sample answer of the code for calculating the area of a trapezoid. 

You can view a sample answer of the code for calculating the solutions of the quadratic equation. I am sure that you have made a good effort and many of you surprised us.

Concepts of week one repeated.

This is a worksheet with 21 extra exercises.

In this second section we will start to learn how to control the flow of the algorithm using the if statement
