QCL Workshop Series

Practical Programming with Python

Summary

Python is one of the most popular programming languages for data scientists, web developers, and machine learning practitioners. Its simple syntax makes it an easy-to-write (and an easy-to-learn) language. In this workshop, you will learn the basics of the Python programming language by creating, step by step, a function that will potentially make grocery shopping easier.

This is a workshop designed for beginners, so no prior knowledge of Python or any programming language is needed.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this workshop you will be able to:

• Create and use functions
• Create lists and dictionaries and access its elements
• Read error messages
• Use for loops
• Use conditional statements (if, elif and else)

Prerequisites

This is a Level 1 Workshop, so no programming knowledge is assumed.
