Hands on bookclub: Learn Python with Jupyter

PyLadies Hamburg are excited to bring you Serena Bonaretti all the way from Switzerland. She will present the book she is writing to help people learn Python: learnpythonwithjupyter.com

Learn how to code in Python while developing computational thinking—that is, the way we think when coding.

In the initial part of the workshop, we will discuss the main principles behind the book. In the second part, we will explore selected Chapters and complete some exercises to experience how to develop computational thinking while learning Python coding using Jupyter notebooks.
