 \chapter{Programming in Python}
 
+Python is a rather young and very dynamic programming languages which
+attracts more and more users in the sciences. One of the reasons is
+that python is an expressive language, that means, the program code
+can often be literally read and understood. Another aspect is the
+strong community support. Most packages are developed by open-source
+enthusiasts who are willing to share their code and knowledge thus,
+answers to most problems can be found with a simple internet search.

 \section{Variables and Datatypes}
 
+Befor we can start to solve programming problems we have to know a few
+basic things about the programming language. In this chapter the
