A Python primer that covers how to use coding as a data journalism tool, meeting the first half of Saturday, June 18th and Sunday, June 19th.
This repo contains files that detail the fundamentals of the Python programming language; how to take a stab at scraping a web page table with a basic Python script; a guide to get rolling with Python at home or work; and more!
Check reqs.txt for a list of required external Python libraries. These sessions are taught in Jupyter Notebooks to ease you into the coding waters without having to switch back and forth between a text editor and an interactive Python interpreter.
To get up and running with Python after the workshop, follow the instructions contained in the install guide.
