        # Awesome Photonics [![Awesome](https://awesome.re/badge.svg)](https://awesome.re)

> A curated list of awesome resource for photonic engineers, physicists and hobbyists

Most tools in this list are written or have a python interface, which require some basic knowledge of python. If you are new to python you can find many [books](https://jakevdp.github.io/PythonDataScienceHandbook/index.html), [YouTube videos](https://www.youtube.com/c/anthonywritescode) and [courses](https://github.com/joamatab/practical-python) available online.

If you are new to Git and Python I recommend reading this [article](https://lightlab.readthedocs.io/en/latest/_static/gettingStarted/index.html)
