This session is the first in a five-part series that builds basic skills in Python programming toward working with text-based data in PUL's collections. Future workshops in the series include "Python for Web Scraping and APIs" (February 16), Python for Text Cleaning (March 6), "Python for Text Analysis" (April 4), and "Python for Machine Learning: Text Generation" (April 25). Materials from all workshops will be made available for those who cannot attend.
Introduction to Python for Working with Text
As one of the most popular, versatile, and beginner-friendly programming langauges, Python can be used for a variety of tasks from analyzing data to building websites. This workshop offers a gentle introduction to the core concepts and syntax of the Python language. Participants will practice using Python to work with text-based data in a hands-on and group learning environment. No prior experience with programming is expected, though a laptop with internet connection and a Google Drive account is required.
