SUMMARY:An Introduction to Programming for Absolute Beginners Using Python: Part 2
DESCRIPTION:What: This hands-on workshop will build on the concepts 
 introduced in An Introduction to Programming for Absolute Beginners Using 
 Python: 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 (don’t worry if 
 these terms are unfamiliar\; they will be explained in the 
 workshop).\n\nWhy: Interested in learning to program but don't know where 
 to start? This workshop will help you establish a foundation to start 
 exploring Python and get rid of any nervousness you might have about 
 learning to code. Learning coding skills will help you automate repetitive 
 tasks\; clean\, analyze\, and visualize large data sets programmatically\; 
 and make you stand out in the job market.\n\nSoftware: Python is free to 
 use. We will be using Jupyter Notebooks (also free to use) for the 
 session\, which is a browser-based programming environment\, so no software 
 setup is required.\n\nWho: 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 have equivalent 
 knowledge. Skills gained can help participants from any discipline: 
 Humanities\, Social Sciences\, or Sciences. \n\nWhen: Monday\, March 16\, 
 2-4:30pm\n\nWhere: Online via Zoom link (provided upon registration) How: 
 This is a 2.5-hour in-person workshop\, consisting of a series of short 
 explanations and demonstrations\, interspersed with breaks for self-paced 
 activities. One instructor will be demonstrating while the other instructor 
 will be available on chat providing assistance. There will be plenty of 
 opportunities to ask any questions and practice as we go! There will be one 
 short break in the middle of the workshop.\n\nCode of Conduct: Map & Data
