Python Study Group – Spring 2021

Spring 2021

The popular Python Study Group is hosted by ETHOS Lab again this semester, taking place on Monday 17:30 – 19:30 starting on 1st March 2021 – the sessions are online on discord.

There will be 8 weeks of sessions (excluding Easter break March 29th to April 5th, 2021)

We will meet the first time Monday 1st March and the last session is on April 26. The community-centered learning will revolve around the book ‘Learn Python the Hard Way’ and no prior programming skills are required to participate.

If you’re interested in volunteering please write ETHON Lab’s Python Study Group coordinator, Veronika Skotting at VESK@itu.dk

Please also read below for more details about the kind of learning environment the study group aims to be.

About Python Study Group

The purpose of the study group is to gather a community of people interested in learning the programming language Python. It doesn’t matter if you are a newbie or programming wizard. Everyone is welcome and we encourage both beginners and more advanced programmers to join. The idea is to create a structured learning environment where we mutually help each other on the path to understanding the programming better.

In other words, we encourage everyone to take the notion of a study group to heart: ETHOS Lab facilitates a space where those attending the study group support each other to learn Python, while ETHOS Lab does its best to provide volunteers who are knowledgeable

ETHOS Lab uses experimental digital methods for analyzing social media data and therefore has an interest in hosting the python group. Although, it is also considered a service to the current students’ needs for exploring a dynamic programming language that can be used for many purposes. In our work with data and digital methods, we often come across digital tools, which require certain knowledge about programming in Python. In light of this, we started the egalitarian study group in 2015, and we hope to be able to continue the exploration of possibilities using Python.
