What you need for this book

To make the most of your reading experience, the reader is expected to have a machine with Ubuntu 14.x or superior installed as the examples are designed for this setup, a basic knowledge of Python (if you don't have this, refer to http://learnxinyminutes.com/docs/python/ first), and a text editor with highlights of your likings (LightTable, Sublime, Atom). Other required software will be discussed through the chapters.
