Python can be very humble and does not require an advanced computer. In fact, you can run Python on a $10 Raspberry Pi or an Arduino board! The code and data we use in this book do not require any special computational power, any laptop, or any computer made after 2008. At least 2 GB of RAM, 20 GB of disk space, and an internet connection should suffice. Your operating system (OS) shouldn't be a problem either, as Python and all the tools we will use are cross-platform and work on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
Throughout the book, we'll use two main tools to write the code: Jupyter and VS Code. Both of them are free and aren't demanding.
All the code for the book is publicly available and free to access at https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Learn-Python-by-Building-Data-Science-Applications.
