# Notes about things I learn while trying to do tasks in Python

_This is a repository of notes I have taken while learning Python._

## Helpful web tutorials

* How to think like a computer scientist http://interactivepython.org/runestone/static/thinkcspy/toc.html - This has been great to get my head around data management. I started off with code academy, but the suff there was just mundane. 

* http://introtopython.org/visualization_earthquakes.html - this really helped me get my head around reading CSV files and plotting data with matplotlib

* http://matplotlib.org/api/markers_api.html#matplotlib.markers.MarkerStyle 

* http://matplotlib.org/api/markers_api.html#module-matplotlib.markers - some really helpful notes about scatter plot for matplotlib

* It seems that matplot uses html color names but I can never rememeber them as I always want to use hex digits: http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_colornames.asp

_These links were collected while trying to do the word count task for keyboard analysis. However, so they are not strictly python / perl but they are usually relating to one of the two._
