Abstract
Python is a widely used, general purpose programming language. This workshop will introduce the basic elements of Python that are commonly used for data cleaning, analysis, visualization, and other applications. Participants will also learn how to set up a "development environment" for Python on their personal computer. Computers with Python pre-loaded are also available in the SSRC on a first-come, first-served basis. This workshop is intended for social scientists who are new to programming. No experience is required.
