Event Description
Join our Python Intensive I workshop, a comprehensive beginner-friendly bootcamp designed to take you from zero to confident Python programmer in just one day. This 5-hour intensive hands-on workshop provides the perfect foundation for anyone looking to learn Python programming, whether you’re exploring a career change, enhancing your current skill set, or pursuing personal development in coding. Through practical exercises and real-world examples, you’ll build functional Python programs while learning industry best practices from experienced instructors.
Perfect for complete beginners with no prior programming experience, this Python workshop covers essential programming concepts including variables, data structures, control flow, and functions. You’ll gain practical experience writing Python code, debugging programs, and working with files and data. By the end of the day, you’ll have created several working Python applications and gained the confidence to continue your programming journey independently. Our small class sizes ensure personalized attention and plenty of opportunities to ask questions and receive feedback on your code.
Whether you’re interested in data science, web development, automation, or simply want to add Python to your professional toolkit, this intensive workshop provides the essential foundation you need. All participants receive course materials, code samples, and access to resources for continued learning after the workshop concludes.
Topic Areas
Topic 1: Python Fundamentals & Setup
Learn how to install Python and set up your development environment with essential tools like VS Code or PyCharm. You’ll write your first Python program, understand how to run Python code, and explore the Python interactive shell. This session covers basic syntax, variables, comments, and the print function to give you a solid foundation for the rest of the workshop.
Topic 2: Data Types & Control Structures
Master Python’s core data types including strings, integers, floats, lists, and dictionaries to effectively store and manipulate information. You’ll learn how to use conditional statements (if/else) to make decisions in your code and loops (for/while) to automate repetitive tasks. Through hands-on exercises, you’ll build programs that process user input, validate data, and respond dynamically to different conditions.
Topic 3: Functions & Code Organization
Discover how to write reusable, organized code by creating your own functions with parameters and return values. You’ll learn the principles of DRY (Don’t Repeat Yourself) programming, understand variable scope, and practice breaking complex problems into smaller, manageable functions. This session emphasizes clean code practices that will make your programs more maintainable and professional.
Topic 4: Working with Data & Files
Gain practical skills in reading from and writing to text files, processing CSV data, and handling common file operations. You’ll learn essential string manipulation techniques, basic error handling to make your programs more robust, and how to work with external data sources. By the end of this session, you’ll create a complete data processing application that reads, analyzes, and exports information.
