For those who are ready to take on a text based programming language, Tanya will take you through an introduction to Python to the point where you have written several working programs. While programming takes weeks to learn properly, this will give you a good idea of what is involved, and pointers to what to do next to become confident with the language.
+This workshop will explore Python programming via a series of small projects. At the end of the two days you will walk away with a selection of programs which use Python to demonstrate a variety of programming concepts. If you already know a variable from a function and a String from an Integer but you're not really sure what to do with it all, then this workshop is for you.
