A Short Intro to Computing with Python

Event Description
Have you been dreaming of learning to program? Or maybe you can read code but have difficulty writing it from scratch. The task seems daunting, I know. I personally have attended several classes in person and never picked up what I wanted to actually learn. I learned about all the data structures, how to type up code in a language’s syntax, pretty much everything but how to write a program.
In this first presentation, my goal is to focus on teaching you to program and not a language. I want to show you key differences between languages, important terminology, the basics of programming, and how to write a program using just input fields, print statements, variables, and conditionals. Using just these foundational elements, I was able to build my first program that helped save a small local housekeeping business thousands of dollars! There is no limit to what you can do and the real world impact you can have with this skill.
