A Friendly Introduction to Python for Absolute Beginners: Part 2 In-Person

In-Person Location: Electronic classroom on the 4th floor of Robarts Library (room 4033)

Interested in learning to program but don't know where to start? This hands-on workshop will build on the concepts introduced in A Friendly Introduction to Python for Absolute Beginners: Part 1 to introduce you to more basic concepts of one of the world's most popular programming languages, Python! This Part 2 introduction to Python includes concepts such as compound data types, flow control, error handling, and reading & writing files. This workshop will establish a foundation to start exploring Python, and help to get rid of any nervousness you might have about learning to code. There will be plenty of opportunities to ask any questions and practice as we go!

This workshop is designed for absolute beginners with no previous experience with programming. However, it is recommended that participants have completed the Part 1 workshop, or reviewed the content of the notebook beforehand.
