Before you keep reading...

Runestone Academy can only continue if we get support from individuals like you. As a student you are well aware of the high cost of textbooks. Our mission is to provide great books to you for free, but we ask that you consider a $10 donation, more if you can or less if $10 is a burden.

5.1. Embedded Videos¶

Our toolset provides a number of different things that will help you to learn to program in the Python programming language. Aside from reading the text, it is sometimes useful to hear someone tell you about different aspects of the topic being discussed. In order to accomplish this, we provide a way to integrate simple, short videos into the text. For example, if you click on the video shown below, you will hear us talk about the tools that will be described shortly.
