Hey, welcome back.
Without further ado, let's get to work, first of all, in the lecture following this video, you will
find the download links for all the free tools that we are going to use throughout this course.
Don't worry.
I will show you how to download and install each of these tools in the upcoming videos.
But I thought that it wouldn't hurt if you would have a complete list of download links at hand now,
because I like to keep things neat and organized.
My advice to you is to create a new folder, preferably on a partition that isn't your operating system
partition and has plenty of space available.
For example, I have created a new folder called Python on my ID drive, and this is where I'm going
to store all the installers and files that we are going to use later in this section.
I advise you to do the same and create your own folder right now before moving on to downloading the
tools.
Next, make sure you have your Internet connection up and running and no download restrictions are in
place.
For instance, if you're watching this course at your office or over a mobile connection, downloading
hundreds of megabytes of data may be restricted by policy or may incur higher costs.
So it's best to continue this course, having a local area network connection running and on a computer
that you have control over.
Finally, as I already mentioned, don't worry about having to purchase any software during this course.
All of the tools that we are going to use are completely free.
Some of them may require you to sign up for a free account.
Others will be available by simply clicking a download button.
Either way, no additional costs to you.
Everyone loves some free stuff, right?
Last but not least, and this is very important.
Please do not skip any of the videos or notebooks in this section and also watch them in the order that
I provided them in, in order to properly install and integrate all the tools and software needed to
build and test the network applications.
Again, it is very important to go through all the lectures in this section and through all of the download
links in the lecture following this video to avoid any missing pieces in your setup down the road.
OK, having that said, it's time you go on to the next lecture.
Check out the list of download links and then I will see you in the next video to get things started.
