Python is this thing called a programming language. It takes text that you’ve written (usually referred to as code), turns it into instructions for your computer, and runs those instructions. We’ll be learning how to write code to do cool and useful stuff. No longer will you be bound to use others’ programs to do things with your computer!

During this learning session, you will have the opportunity to learn Python using the Introduction to Programming with Python [1] class from OpenTechSchool.

• http://opentechschool.github.io/python-beginners/en/index.html (might be offline, source code is here (https://github.com/OpenTechSchool/python-beginners))

More advanced Python users will have the choice between the three other classes from OpenTechSchool:

• Introducing web apps with Flask http://opentechschool.github.io/python-flask/

• Data Processing with Python http://opentechschool.github.io/python-data-intro/

• Django 101 http://django-marcador.keimlink.de/

If you are already familiar with Python, you are more than welcome to join as a coach and help beginners with Python.
