Now,
in order for you to be able to write your Python
code and then test to see how the code works,
you're going to need to make use of a platform.
Now, there's a wide variety of them out there.
We do have replit and we also have PCHAR.
These two in my humble opinion, are the best.
However, for this course, I have decided
to go with web
for two main reasons.
The first reason is because I personally believe
that it's a little bit easier to use.
Trust me, it's a very, very simple to use interface.
And then second, even though both are
free
replot
is replot
is more free than
PM.
Now, what am I talking about?
See with
PLO
it? However,
you will only be given a 30 day trial, it's only gonna last for 30 days and that's it.
So unless you decide to go with the premium version, which is about $100
you will no longer be able to use pie
cham.
Now with
Apple,
it's
not completely free
the way it works. Is this ok?
When you sign up for the free account,
you will be given a set package of number of repos and then developing time.
What exactly am I talking about? See,
I'm gonna drag, this is my account right here.
Don't worry in the next lesson,
I'm going to show you how you can create your account and replicate, install
it and so on.
But don't worry, I want to draw your attention to this. Ok.
So this is my rep account right now and
you will see down here, I have the startup plan, which is the free plan
and I have three
reps, three out of three and then development time.
These two are the most important. What exactly are these?
So whenever you create a
Python program
that counts as one, Rle, OK?
And you're given basically three opportunities to create three
different types of Python programs in all honesty.
For the purposes of this course,
you're only going to need one or two at the very most. So three is more than enough.
Now, the development time is the one I really want to draw your attention to
because right now you can see it says 90% used already
and I have been using this particular account for the past three weeks already.
So what exactly is this development time
whenever you open
replete
as it is right now, my
reply program is open,
it's already counting as a development time.
So as long as your reli
browser is open, you're writing your code, you're running your program all of these
will count towards the development minutes.
Now, how many minutes do you have? You have 1200 minutes? You can see right here.
My development time in minutes,
I have used 1000 and 80
out of 1200.
So it's 90% used.
Now, the good thing about this is that you can manage it properly.
So what you want to do is
whenever you're not working with a web
plate,
make sure that you close the browser, close the window,
do not leave it open as it is right now.
OK?
Do not forget to do this. People very often
make the mistake. I've made this mistake so many times already
and it's gonna eat into your development time. So
once you open up web
plates and you're taking the class, you're writing your code,
you finish your class for the day, you wanna go out,
make sure
you close your web
window or tablet browser just close it and then you
can open it when you're ready to resume the lessons.
OK?
One other thing I want to mention to you
is that
with
replete,
even if you've used up your development time completely at 100%
by the end of the month, it resets every 30 days.
So you can come back after 30 days and then
you will have access to your account all over again.
Also,
obviously, you may not want to wait for 30 whole days.
One thing you can simply do is that you can create another account.
So hopefully you have more than one email account. So
you can create several free accounts with her
as long as you have the email accounts
to actually use to create those accounts. So it's a very, very flexible
and a very easy to use platform and that's why I have decided
to go with real.
So if you have any questions about using real
plate or PCHAR,
do let me know
I'm gonna be here to assist you and help you in any way that I can.
So
the next video where I'm going to show you how to install
ra
and of course, create your account. I'll see you then.
