Intro to Python

The big moment is finally here: after spending quite a bit of time exploring important concepts adjacent to/around Python, with the intention to provide a holistic understanding and situate components accordingly, we will start exploring Python itself.

Within the first block of programming with Python we will go through basics of the Python programming language, its central aspects and building blocks, as well as its benefits generally speaking and within the context of psychology research.

Within the second block we’ll be learning about the usage and roles of logical operators and data structures in Python.

In the last Block we’ll learning how to connect separate lines of Python code, i.e. controling the flow of a Python program using Loops and conditional statements. We’ll further learn how and why to write functions in Python.
