Every new notebook is like a file folder. You can place individual examples within the file folder, just as you would sheets of paper into a physical file folder. Each example appears in a cell. You can put other sorts of things in the file folder, too, but you see how these things work as the book progresses. Use these steps to create a new notebook:
1. Click New ⇒ Python 3.
A new tab opens in the browser with the new notebook, as shown in Figure 4-8. Notice that the notebook contains a cell and that Notebook has highlighted the cell so that you can begin typing code in it. The title of the notebook is Untitled right now. That’s not a particularly helpful title, so you need to change it.
2. Click Untitled on the page.
Notebook asks what you want to use as a new name, as shown in Figure 4-9.
3. Type BPPD_04_Sample and press Enter.
The new name tells you that this is a file for Beginning Programming with Python For Dummies, Chapter 4, Sample.ipynb. Using this naming convention lets you easily differentiate these files from other files in your repository.
