-### Python and Jupyter/IPython
-
-We will be using Python for most of the assignments; you wouldn't typically use Python for systems development, but it works much better as an instructional tool. Python is easy to pick up, and we will also provide skeleton code for most of the assignments. 
-
-IPython is an enhanced command shell for Python, that offers enhanced introspection, rich media, additional shell syntax, tab completion, and rich history. 
-
-**IPython Notebook** started as a web browser-based interface to IPython, and proved especially popular with Data Scientists. A few years ago, the Notebook functionality was forked off as a separate project, called [Jupyter](http://jupyter.org/). Jupyter provides support for many other languages in addition to Python. 
-
-* Start the VM using `vagrant up`. Python, IPython, and Jupyter are already loaded.
-
-* To use Python, you can just do `python` (or `ipython`), and it will start up the shell.
-
-* To use Jupyter Notebook, do `cd /vagrant` followed by: 
-	```
-	jupyter-notebook --port=8888 --no-browser --ip=0.0.0.0
-	``` 
-This will start a server on the VM, listening on port 8888. We will access it from the **host** (as discussed above, the VagrantFile maps the 8888 port on the guest VM to the 8888 port on the host VM). To do that, simply start the browser, and point it to: http://127.0.0.1:8888. Note that you might be prompted for a token, which is printed out when you start up the Jupyter server.
-
-* You should see the Notebooks in the `assignment0/` directory. Click to open the "Jupyter Getting Started" Notebook, and follow the instruction therein.
-
-* The second Notebook ("Basics of SQL") covers basics of SQL, by connecting to your local PostgreSQL instance. The Notebook also serves as an alternative mechanism to run queries. However, in order to use that, you must set up a password in `psql` using `\password` (set the password to be `vagrant`). For example:
-```
-       sudo -u vagrant psql university
-       university=#  ALTER USER vagrant WITH PASSWORD 'vagrant';
-```
