Description
Type: 

Get an orientation to the basics of working with social science data in python. We'll start from the ground up, from the basics of naming variables, making decisions, and repeating operations. We will learn about programming and development environments including the command line (in particular, installing packages and running scripts), PyCharm (and the general idea of text editors), and the IPython notebook (including the NBviewer).  We will apply this knowledge to drawing objects, text analysis, and web scraping.

Please review the workshop website BEFORE the course starts to find out about tools you need to install in order to be ready:
