Getting Started with Python

This workshop will introduce attendees to the Python programming language.  We’ll help you install Python 3 and the Anaconda distribution, execute your first lines of code, and explore the basic functionality of Python.  After this workshop, attendees should be better placed to start working on a specific project in Python, learning along the way, or work through more in-depth training.

Python is widely used by researchers in many disciplines, and can be used to accomplish or automate many tasks outside academia.  General computer skills are required, but specialized prior knowledge in computer programming is not required.
