+
+Hello friends. Welcome to this spoken tutorial on Getting started with
+strings.
+
+{{{ Show the slide containing the title }}}
+
+{{{ Show the slide containing the outline }}}
+
+In this tutorial, we will learn what do we actually mean by strings in
+python, how python supports the use of strings. We will also learn
+some of the operations that can be performed on strings.
+
+{{{ Shift to terminal and start ipython }}}
+
+To begin with let us start ipython, by typing::
+
+  ipython
+
+on the terminal
+
+So what are strings? In Python anything within either single quotes
+or double quotes or triple single quotes or triple double quotes are
+strings. This is true whatsoever, even if there is only one character
+within the quotes
+
+{{{ Type in ipython the following and read them as you type }}}::
+
+  'This is a string'
+  "This is a string too'
+  '''This is a string as well'''
+  """This is also a string"""
+  'p'
+
+We can assign this string to any variable::
+
+  a = 'Hello, World!'
+
+Now 'a' is a string variable. String is a collection of characters. In
+addition string is an immutable collection. So all the operations that
+are applicable to any other immutable collection in Python works on
+string as well. So we can add two strings::
+
+  a = 'Hello'
+  b = 'World'
+  c = a + ', ' + b + '!'
+
+We can add string variables as well as the strings themselves all in
+the same statement. The addition operation performs the concatenation
+of two strings.
+
