Description: Python can be used in many humanities and social sciences workflows, and it is an easy and fun language to learn. This introductory 3-day, 6-hour course will walk you through the basics of programming in Python starting at the beginner’s level. We will cover the main language features – variables and data types, conditionals, lists, for/while loops, list comprehensions, dictionaries, writing functions, and working with external libraries, doing many exercises along the way. In the second part we will take a look at some of the libraries in more details, including pandas for working with large tables, simple plotting with matplotlib, and few others.
