Course Description: 

This workshop introduces you to the basics of programming in Python, an interpreted programming language that enables developers to quickly write readable and efficient code. Python has become a standard in both academic research and industry, making it an essential tool for a wide range of applications.

In this workshop, you will understand key programming concepts, learn to navigate Python's syntax, and develop the skills needed to write your own simple programs.

Course aims: 
  • Gain an understanding of the basic Python Syntax
  • Learn how to work with the command line
  • Understand core concepts like Objects, Variables, Operators, Control Structures and Functions
  • Gain the ability to write simple programs on your own
  • Learn how to invoke third-party libraries for numerical data handling and plotting
  • Understand how to proceed in your Python journey after the workshop
Teaching methods: 

The course alternates between brief theory sessions and hands-on practice, allowing participants to apply concepts immediately using their Own Python Setup. This interactive approach ensures effective learning.

This course fits doctoral candidates in the following phase: 

At the beginning of the doctorate │ during the doctorate │ at the end of the doctorate

Participation requirements: 

None.

Technical requirements: 

You need a laptop with a charger and a working internet connection. Please make sure that you have the necessary permissions to install Software on your computer.

Course preparation:
