January 26, 2023

America/New_York
International Affairs Building, 420 W. 118 St., New York, NY 10027 215

Room 215

Introduction to Python: Take your first steps as a Pythonista.

Topics covered: Code notebooks, data types in Python, conditionals, methods, and functions.

Bring your curiosity and a laptop to the first Data Club of the semester, where we‘ll cover the absolute basics of Python. Aimed at people who have never programmed before, this workshop will introduce the basic structure of using Python in a code notebook to let participants get excited about continuing their paths as Pythonistas.

Data Club meetups typically occur twice-monthly, on Thursdays, throughout the semester. Open to everyone in the Columbia community, these informal events will start with a presentation on a specific use case for Python, R, Julia, or JavaScript, then open up to questions, collaborative work, and discussion. Computation typically occurs within a Jupyter/Colab workflow, and participants of all skill levels are welcome.
