Programming With Python

Python is a popular general-purpose programming language that provides an accessible packaging system that lets users install discipline-specific functionality provided by the community. This workshop will teach you foundational programming skills using data analysis with Python to provide examples of problems and use-cases.

This workshop will cover how to:

• Store and manipulate data in a Python environment
• Process and visualize tabular data
• Automate common workflows using loops, choices, and functions
• Troubleshoot and debug your code, and how to minimize the time you need to spend doing so
