Discussed 17/07:

• Sofie will post a few resources and guides for the starters
• Our longer term goal will be able to write a script that is able to create checksums, write them to another file and validate them at a later date.
• Short term for next sessions will be to install python, and read up on some resources to get a basic understanding of phyton.
