Python Crash Course

My first attempt at learning Python, following the Python Crash Course by Eric Matthes.

I won't spend too much time on the first chapters as I have some experience programming in other languages. I will make notes on topics I see relevant in the "hello_world.py" file but not delve into every activity presented in the starter chapters. Mainly, because I want to avoid time-consuming tasks that are meant for absolute beginners to programming. As the course starts requiring more involvement, I will start following the instructions more thoroughly. Projects will be in different repositories.

NOTE: I used the First Edition of the book for the first 6 Chapters and the Second Edition for the rest, thus why I don't use f-strings in the beginning.
