Episode 01 - adding variable naming conventions, defining keywords

How could the content be improved?

One issue that I ran into teaching Episode 1 was that learners were running into problems with variable naming. Learners weren't being taught that variable names could not include spaces in between, cannot be titled keywords, cannot use certain punctuation, & also that variables were case sensitive. The Programming with Python Python Fundamentals episode includes bullet points that go over all of these issues, I'd migrate that information here under the Variables section

Which part of the content does your suggestion apply to?
