This class introduces people to the Python programming language. Topics covered include:
- defining and assigning variables
- printing things to the screen
- defining and using functions
- using functions that other people have written
This class assumes that you have some familiarity with another programming language and are familiar with terms like "variable" and "function".
Note:
o This is a hands-on class, and is heavily example-based. Every concept introduced will be driven by examples that are executed. So, students are encouraged to bring laptops with them.
o This class assumes some basic familiarity with programming concepts. Students should know the terms "variable", "function", "call a function", "argument", "string", and "integer" before coming to class.
o This class will use the Canopy environment from Enthought for all examples. Canopy is free for academic users and can be downloaded here: https://enthought.com/store/
