| 268 | + <span class="octicon octicon-link"></span></a>Using the book |
| 269 | + </h3> |
| 270 | + <p> |
| 271 | + This book can be read in two different ways: |
| 272 | + <ol> |
| 273 | + <li> |
| 274 | + The first way is the most interactive of all. Here you have to clone the repository of the book to |
| 275 | + download all files .ipynb to your local machine. If you have IPython |
| 276 | + installed, you can then view all the chapters in your browser and run the code |
| 277 | + examples. This is one of the best ways to maximize your learning, but some dependencies |
| 278 | + must be installed on a machine. |
| 279 | + </li> |
| 280 | + <li> |
| 281 | + The second way is to use the site <a href="http://nbviewer.ipython.org/">nbviewer</a> which presents the |
| 282 | + <em>IPython Notebook</em> right in your browser. The content is updated according to the |
| 283 | + repository updates. To access the chapters, use the links on the Content section above. |
| 284 | + </li> |
| 285 | + <!--li> |
| 286 | + The third way is by downloading the |
| 287 | + <a href="download/python_for_developers.pdf"> PDF file of the book </a>. Remember though that |
| 288 | + PDFs are static and therefore not interactive. |
| 289 | + </li--> |
