Python Fundamentals (Evanston)

Workshop Details

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.

Prerequisites: None
