Description
This workshop takes learners through the basics of programming in Python via the Jupyter Lab interface and culminates with exploration and visualization of real-world bicycle count data from the City of Toronto. The file 'lecture-notes-python-workshop.ipynb' can be opened and run with Jupyter notebook or Jupyter Lab, and the material is designed to be presented as a participatory live-coding workshop in which learners follow along as the instructor projects their code. The file 'lecture-notes-python-workshop.html' is a rendered version of the .ipynb notebook file that can be viewed in a browser.
This material focuses on using the package pandas for working with spreadsheet-type data and the packages matplotlib and seaborn for data visualization.
This material is based on workshops (https://uoftcoders.github.io/2018-07-12-utoronto/) hosted by UofT Coders (https://uoftcoders.github.io), inspired by the Data Carpentry Ecology Python lesson (https://datacarpentry.org/python-ecology-lesson/).
