This event is for beginners who want to start learning the basics of programming with Python.

In part one, we will cover:

Getting started with programming

Overview of careers using Python

We'll jump into coding and cover the Python syntax and programming concepts for:

• Variables
• Strings
• Numbers
• Lists
• Dictionaries
• Conditionals
• Loops

We'll then take our knowledge and solve a classic computer science problem together.

Return for part two, where we will cover:

• Functions
• Scopes
• Working with libraries

We'll put together what we learned, making useful code we can re-use on different datasets.

How to Prepare:

- Install Google Chrome (any modern browser should work): https://www.google.com/chrome/browser/desktop/

About Your Instructor:

Connor Slagle

I am a data scientist with a fondness for biotechnology, with degrees in both chemical and environmental engineering. Recent advances in data science are revolutionizing all aspects of contemporary business, from product refinement to customer identification; In no field is this as evident (or as exciting) as in biotechnology.

I’m focused on leveraging these skills to improve targeted, non-invasive drug delivery in oncology. Additionally, I love spreading my understanding of machine learning concepts through evangelism at Galvanize.
