Workshop Description:
- What: This hands-on workshop will introduce you to the basic concepts of one of the world's most popular programming languages, Python! This introduction to Python will include concepts such as data types, variables, operators, if statements, and loops (don’t worry if these terms are unfamiliar; they will be explained in the workshop).
- Why: Interested in learning to program but don't know where to start? This workshop will help you establish a foundation to start exploring Python and get rid of any nervousness you might have about learning to code. Learning coding skills will help you automate repetitive tasks; clean, analyze, and visualize large data sets programmatically; and make you stand out in the job market.
- Software: Python is free to use. We will be using Jupyter Notebooks (also free to use) for the session, which is a browser-based programming environment, so no software setup is required.
- Who: This workshop is designed for absolute beginners with no previous experience with programming. Skills gained can help participants from any discipline: Humanities, Social Sciences, or Sciences.
