Aimed towards complete beginners with no prior programming knowledge, this workshop will provide you with the tools you need to write your first Python scripts and start your journey towards mastery. The foundational elements and syntax will be covered from scratch and we will delve into the logic that needs to be applied to analyse problems and solve them through coding. Upon completion, participants will be able to interpret programming concepts, install, and set up Python environments, and more importantly write and execute Python code. Python programming can be used in various fields for automating repetitive processes (data aggregation for reporting purposes), predictive analysis (time-series), performing complex calculations and handling of large complex datasets effortlessly.

Who should attend
This workshop is open to anyone who is interested in learning how to program and reap the benefits of incorporating Python programming in their professional or personal ventures. No preliminary programming skills are needed as the basics will be covered. However, a high-level understanding of what programming is would be beneficial.
