The workshop will take place on July 16th, 10:00 AM CEST on Zoom
Course Details
The workshop introduces students to the fundamentals of computer programming as students learn to design, write, and debug simple computer programs using the programming language Python. Topics include data types, control structures, functions, and an introduction to the principles of object-oriented programming and computational complexity. We utilize tools and practical examples that are common in computational social science and social data science.
