Class 2: Practical Python Problem Solving
Abstract: The second class focuses on learning more about the Python language while putting to use your skills to read, modify, and write your own code to solve practical, real-world problems. At the end of this class, attendees will have an understanding of more advanced language features and syntax, how to read other people's code, how to perform bug fixes and code improvements, and how to install/use third-party Python libraries, and use the Python package management system.
Objectives:
- Learn advanced python syntax, features
- Learn about Python library/package management
- Learn how to debug and fix other people's Python code
- Learn how to approach programming problem solving, how best to organize and formulate code
What to Bring:
- Laptop where you have admin privileges
- Python 3 installed on laptop (https://www.python.org)
Pre-Requisites:
- There are no specific prerequisites for this class, but any prior knowledge or experience with programming will be a big plus.
- If you are completely new to programming it may help to familiarize yourself with core programming concepts first. Check out this link: https://dev.to/lucpattyn/basic-programming-concepts-for-beginners-2o73

============================
Where do I park? / How do I get inside?
Parking: There is free street parking on N Ontario St. It is usually easy to find a spot after business hours or on weekends.
Getting inside: Once you park, head down the walkway, we are the long building in the back (see link for overhead directions)
