Using Google Colab

Google Colab is one of those strange free things on the web that make you think “this won’t last”. It’s an environment that allows you to run Python code for free on Google’s servers without installing anything locally.

You just need a Google account and you’re ready to go. Any time you see people allow you to download a “.ipynb” file, this is a notebook you can run on Colab (almost always) or on your own computer.

I tend to publish simple examples on Colab because it makes it easy to see how things work with little effort and no cost.
