Overview

This second workshop in the Python for Humanists series introduces more complex programming concepts that will be useful when working with data. We will focus on:

• using loops for repetitive tasks
• using conditional logic
• beginning to work with data.

Designed for participants who have taken Python for Humanists, Part I or who have comparable minimal programming experience, this workshop will serve as a foundation for upcoming DHLab workshops on text and data mining.

Instructor: Joshua Dull (DHLab)

Registration

This workshop is open to all Yale students, faculty, and staff, but space is limited. To register, visit the YUL Instruction Calendar.

Participants are required to bring a laptop with Anaconda 3.7 already installed to the workshop. If you have trouble with the installation, stop by the Digital Humanities Lab’s Office Hours, Monday through Thursday at 3:00 p.m. for help.

Follow-Up Information

Participants are invited to stay after the workshop for the Python Working Group, which meets every Friday from 3:00-4:00 p.m. At the working group, you can ask additional questions, pick an online tutorial to try from our curated list, and meet other researchers learning the language!
