PyStart: Kickstarting your Python for Data Journey 🐍

A Three-Part Workshop Series

Ready to transform your data skills with Python? Whether you're starting from scratch or looking to level up your coding game, PyStart is your gateway to mastering Python for data work—designed specifically for beginners who want to build real-world skills.

Talk #1: Getting Started with Python

Think Python is just for programmers? Think again! This session breaks down programming fundamentals into bite-sized, digestible pieces. You'll start with the basics—variables, data types, and operators—and before you know it, you'll be writing your own code with confidence. We'll tackle Python's core building blocks in a way that actually makes sense, moving from simple operations to powerful data structures like lists and dictionaries. By the end of the night, you'll be writing loops and list comprehensions like a pro.
