What is Google Colab?

Google Colab is a tool that allows you to write, run and share Python code in your browser. Colab also has multiple features that make it a popular tool for data science, machine learning and artificial intelligence. Many of the machine learning tutorials you may see online, are written in Google Colab, and this is for a good reason. When you write your machine learning code in Google Colab, you can share a link to it and anyone can have access to that code, run that code on their own browser, without the need for any setup.

If you are familiar with the Jupyter Notebook, you can think of Google Colab as a supercharged version of the Jupyter Notebook, hosted on Google’s cloud servers, with multiple convenient features. And if you are not familiar with it, do not worry, because this tutorial does not require any prior knowledge on Jupyter Notebook.
