My name is Andy Young and together we'll be working through Zed Shaw's seminal series: Learn Python the Hard Way. If you wish to purchase a copy, I recommend Amazon because it's cheaper than bookstores.
I'm excited to have you here and I encourage you to peruse the table of contents and see 👀 what lays ahead.

Touch Typing Tools
These tools are challenging. You may get discouraged, but stick with it.
Practice a little bit each day, and you'll see improvement.
Gtypist is a CLI tool that may be difficult to install, I will help you with that.
It's one of the best tools I've every used to improve touch typing- Python Typing Practice 35 wpm is a good goal.
