Programming with Python
Programming with Python
This hands-on, participatory 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.
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.
