Python is a simple and popular programming language that can be used across platforms, and is useful for a wide variety of tasks.
This short course is a basic introduction to scripting using Python. Skills taught will include data structures, loops, conditional statements, function definitions, and if time permits, file input and output. These tools will be useful for researchers in many fields for data management, automating tedious computational tasks, and handling “big data.” This course is taught at an introductory level and is appropriate for students with no programming experience, but will contain material and techniques helpful to moderately experienced programmers new to Python.
