Just so we don’t waste time later on, please register at the following sites:

  • GitHub: For hosting open-source code. If you have an existing GitHub account that’s fine, you don’t need a new one.
  • SendGrid: For sending emails from Python.
  • MailGun: Also for sending emails from Python.
  • MapBox: For building/hosting certain types of maps.
  • Digital Ocean: For hosting servers in the cloud. You’ll have to provide credit card information, and maybe pay a small enrollment fee - feel free to do it later if that’s a problem today. This is a referral link to save you a few $$$.
