So, if you and/or your learner are offended by sarcasm or jokes. Please, do NOT register for any of Mr. Hun's classes. Thank you (said without any sarcasm whatsoever). B. Please, be aware that your child will be required to be able to access the PythonTutor.com website. In order to execute Python code in a web browser. Your child will NOT be required to create an account on PythonTutor.com
