00:00.050 --> 00:04.910
And just before we get started, here are a few important points that will help you to get the most

00:04.910 --> 00:06.050
out of this course.

00:06.080 --> 00:08.630
First, follow the course in the order.

00:08.660 --> 00:10.460
Don't skip any lessons.

00:10.460 --> 00:15.980
Press pause between each step and make sure you can successfully do the step before you continue.

00:15.980 --> 00:20.270
But if you already know Python, you may skip the basic Python part.

00:20.300 --> 00:23.000
I still recommend you to watch it as a reminder.

00:23.030 --> 00:29.060
Then when I write the code and do experiments, first watch the lesson and then write the code and do

00:29.060 --> 00:30.740
the experiments by yourself.

00:30.740 --> 00:31.370
Watching.

00:31.370 --> 00:35.000
Plus, doing is so much more efficient than just watching.

00:35.030 --> 00:38.930
And finally, I will give you many activities and challenges during this course.

00:38.930 --> 00:44.240
Make sure you take enough time to solve the challenges by yourself before watching the solution.

00:44.240 --> 00:47.540
This is the only way you will truly make progress.

00:47.540 --> 00:53.300
And one additional quick word of caution when you want to manipulate your Raspberry Pi, whether for

00:53.300 --> 00:59.300
removing the microSD card or changing a hardware component, always first shut down the Raspberry Pi

00:59.330 --> 01:05.870
from the software, wait at least 20s and remove the power cable, and then, and only then, you can

01:05.900 --> 01:07.580
safely manipulate the board.

01:07.580 --> 01:09.920
And I will talk more about this during the course.

01:09.950 --> 01:10.520
All right.

01:10.550 --> 01:11.420
Enough talking.

01:11.420 --> 01:15.110
Now let's install the Raspberry Pi operating system.
