Python Fundamentals (Chicago)

Learn Python from scratch with a systematic introduction to the whys and hows of using Python effectively.

This workshop lasts four days, each day 9:30am - 4pm. Attending every day is important.

This four-day workshop provides an engaging, comprehensive, hands-on introduction to the Python programming language. Python is an extremely popular, general-purpose, versatile coding language with a shallow learning curve, meaning you can do a lot with the tools you’ll learn in this four-day workshop. Participants will learn the fundamentals of Python syntax, code flow with loops and conditionals, reading and writing files, how to work in coding notebooks, and basic error handling.
