Now, I know that we’ve already covered a Python script in the previous article, but that was used simply for testing in order to set our environment up. We’re here to learn Python, so lets take a step back and do this the right way. I like themes with my series, and here are a few that I was thinking about following:

• Cars (always my favorite)
• Doom and destruction (seems appropriate with all the AI warning signs going off)
• Just pure fun (sometimes I go overboard)

I think we’ll stick to cars. My hope is to not only teach you about programming, but reintroduce (brainwash) you into the joy of driving cars the way they were meant to be driven: with a manual transmission.

Time to begin. I’ll create a new file in my folder.

The Python script is going to just contain a print statement. You’ll quickly realize that you can use print to display something in your terminal. In our case, I’m going to make a rather dangerous statement, that this will be the best tutorial series on Python.

print("This will be the best Python series....on cars. You didn't let me finish")

To run it, open up Docker or if you have your terminal configured properly, execute the python 1-first-script.py command.

This will be the best Python series....on cars. You didn't let me finish

Nice and simple. Try creating your own file and printing out a different message. You might want to write how much you love driving cars with a manual transmission. I’m just trying to get you to practice since there will be a lot of manual transmission talk over the course of this series. See you next time.
