Description:
Learn how to manipulate and shape your data, automate process or write bespoke programs on our practical introduction to programming using Python.
Aimed those new to programming, our week-long course aims to give you a hands-on introduction to Python, a general-purpose programming language.
Python can be used for nearly everything and continues to grow in popularity with organisations like NASA, Google, YouTube and the New York Stock Exchange all using it for different things. Through the use of excellent numerical packages, Python can also compete against more statistical and mathematical packages such as R.
Throughout your course, you’ll learn about:
- General introduction to programming
- Programming in Python
- Using the interpreter in iPython
- Writing Python scripts
- Loop and control flow (for-loops, if-statements)
- Data-types: strings, lists and dictionaries
- Using and writing functions
- Functions for scientific programming: Numpy and SciPy
- Finding problems in code
- Data manipulation project using Python
By the end of the course, you’ll be able to write useful programmes, understand more complex Python programmes written by others as well as how to use Python for more advanced data analysis.
