# Table of Contents

The materials are designed to resemble an *interactive* book.

It is recommended
    to follow the [installation instructions](https://github.com/webartifex/intro-to-python#installation)
        in the [README.md](README.md) file
    and work through the content on one's own computer.

If this is not possible,
    the files can be viewed in a web browser
    either statically (i.e., read-only) on [nbviewer <img height="12" style="display: inline-block" src="static/link/to_nb.png">](https://nbviewer.jupyter.org/github/webartifex/intro-to-python/tree/develop/)
    or interactively (i.e., code can be executed) on [Binder <img height="12" style="display: inline-block" src="static/link/to_mb.png">](https://mybinder.org/v2/gh/webartifex/intro-to-python/develop?urlpath=lab).
