DSI is excited to announce Python 0, an introductory course designed for those who have little to no experience with Python. Those with no programming experience at all will also be comfortable in this workshop.

"Python is powerful... and fast; 
plays well with others; 
runs everywhere; 
is friendly & easy to learn; 
is Open." 
- Python

Python is currently used in thousands of business across all sectors, including YouTube and Google. 

We will begin with a walkthrough of the command line/terminal, a text interface for navigating through files your computer. 

During the workshop, we will review the essentials of programming using Python, including variables, functions, and data structures. 

To prepare, please follow the steps below to download the programs and we'll teach you the rest! 

1. Download and install [Anaconda Python distribution](http://docs.continuum.io/anaconda/install)  (this includes Jupyter, a Python interpreter that will allow you to run iPython notebooks)

2. Download the [iPython notebooks and files](https://github.com/dsiufl/Python-Workshops) from GitHub. Just click "download ZIP" in the top right-hand corner.


3. Using your command prompt (Windows) or Terminal in mac OS, navigate to the directory where you downloaded the Python Workshops, and enter the command "ipython notebook"

4. The Jupyter page will open up in a web browser, and from there you can open up the iPython notebook "DataSciUF Python 0.ipynb", which will be uploaded before the workshop.
