This course offers a basic and accessible introduction to programming in Python, aimed specifically at researchers and teachers without prior coding skills. Due to limited capacity, we can only offer this course to staff affiliated with Leiden University. You can find a link to the registration form at the bottom of this page.

During three interactive weeks, this course will explain the core principles of programming using Python, including topics such as variables, data types and conditional execution (e.g., if X, then Y). You will be able to perform basic calculations, manipulate text and read from and write to files.

The course consists of three sessions on 16th, 23th and 30th June; the sessions will last 3 hours 09:30-13:00.

For more information on the contents of the course, you can send an email to cds@library.leidenuniv.nl.
