This course is divided into four Topics, each of which will focus on a different aspect of Python:
*Topic 1 will demonstrate how to install the necessary software on your computer or laptop to start engaging with Python.
*Topic 2 will tackle the basics of Python, teaching you how to write and fix simple pieces of code.
*Topic 3 will focus on the more complex task of text analysis using Python and will provide you with pieces of code that you can use for yourself.
*Topic 4 will explore the world of Notebooks, outlining how to make yours public, if you choose.
By the end of this Intensive, you should:
* Be able to write and fix simple pieces of code.
* Have assembled a ‘toolkit’ as such, from the bits of code we have written for you along the way, which you can use to perform computational analysis on all kinds of texts; from Shakespeare, to historical newspapers, to court transcripts – as long as Python can read it, the possibilities are endless!
