The beginner Python course has nine short lessons focused on learning the syntax of the Python programming language. These lessons develop the skills necessary for independent coding and more advanced learning. At the end of the course an additional lesson teaches one how and when to integrate computer programming into Humanities research programmes.
If you’re completely new to Python we suggest you take your time working through each lesson. There are homework exercises at the end of each lesson, and solutions to these exercises are provided on separate pages. We encourage you to attempt the exercises independently and then check the solutions to solidify your skills.
In the Capstone Lesson you will be supported in writing your own self-contained program to analyse a set of texts using some basic Natural Language Processing methods.
