Introduction to Python for Absolute Beginners

Description

Python is a popular programming language that is used for data management and analysis, web development, software development, machine learning and artificial intelligence. Although we will not be going quite that deep in this introduction, this Johns Hopkins Data Services workshop will provide users with the fundamentals necessary to get started using Python.

This workshop is heavily hands-on and will have users feeling comfortable coding and confident enough to leap from beginner to intermediate and beyond in no time. Students should expect to instruct the computer to accomplish tasks, use variables to contain content, learn new Python vocabulary, write and run calculations, and conduct overall data analysis/manipulation using Python's base functionality.
