SUMMARY:Introduction to Programming with Python
DESCRIPTION:This is a hands-on workshop designed to introduce you to the 
 wonderful world of programming and get you acquainted with the popular and 
 easy-to-use programming language Python. We will provide a whirlwind 
 overview of what Python is\, why you might want to use it\, and how to do 
 so. Then we will dive into the basics and discuss:\n\n\n	Using Python 
 interactively in the terminal\n	Creating and running your own Python 
 scripts\n	Differences between various Python distributions\n	JupyterLab and 
 Google Colab notebooks\n	What are variables and how to use them\n	Different 
 data types and data structures\n	Basic arithmetic and string 
 manipulation\n	Working with lists\, dictionaries\, and tuples\n	What are 
 functions and how to write your own\n	Using loops and list 
 comprehensions\n	Control flow with conditional statements\n	Reading 
 technical documentation\n	Importing and using built-in 
 modules\n\n\nAbsolutely no previous programming experience is assumed. This 
 workshop is most suitable for those who are new to programming and have not 
 worked with Python before. Attendees will get a thorough overview of the 
 Python ecosystem\, gain first-hand experience with the most essential 
 programming concepts\, and leave with resources enabling them to write 
 their own simple scripts.\n\n\nThis is a virtual session taking place 
 online via Zoom. Participation is free of charge and open to the public. 
 The number of attendees is capped to ensure a positive and engaging 
 experience. Waitlisted participants may be admitted depending on 
 availability. Preference will be given to Tufts affiliates in case of high 
 demand.\n\n\nThe session begins with a 45-minute introductory lecture 
 followed by an hour-long hands-on interactive workshop. The final 15 
 minutes are intended for questions and open discussion. No additional 
 software need be installed as everything necessary will be made available 
 via an online interface.
