Programming with Python

Programming with Python

This hands-on workshop is designed for those with basic Python programming experience. It will train learners to use three key tools for simplifying, clarifying, and scaling programs for real-world applications in Python: loops, functions, and conditional tests.

The workshop is open to anyone, but learners should be familiar with programming in Python equivalent to the Intro to Python and JupyterLab workshop. You will need access to a Windows, Mac, or Linux computer. The curriculum is based on episodes 5–8 of the Software Carpentry Programming with Python lesson.

This intermediate workshop is offered twice in Fall 2024 on 2 October, 9am–12pm and 29 October, 5pm–8pm. If you do not have prior experience working in Python and JupyterLab, an introductory workshop to Python and JupyterLab is scheduled for 25 September, 9am–12pm and 22 October, 5pm–8pm. You can take the workshops as a series or choose which one best fits your experience and needs. Please only register for one session of each workshop.

Learning Outcomes:  
- Be able to write for loops to repeat calculations.
- Process data from multiple files.
- Be able to write conditional statements in Python.
- Learn to write functions in Python.
