Treffer: Introduction.

In this introductory chapter we first look at some arguments why scripting is a promising programming style for computational scientists and engineers and how scripting differs from more traditional programming in Fortran, C, C++, C#, and Java. The chapter continues with a section on how to set up your software environment such that you are ready to get started with the introduction to Python scripting in Chapter 2. Eager readers who want to get started with Python scripting as quickly as possible can safely jump to Chapter 1.2 to set up their environment and get ready to dive into examples in Chapter 2.
