DESCRIPTION:**REGISTRATION CLOSED**In this 4-hour workshop\, participants w
 ill be introduced to the basics of programming in Python. Students will jo
 urney from the beginnings of creating variables and performing simple math
 ematical operations to writing code that can perform fundamental tasks and
  wrapping this code into functions. Participants will learn how to write t
 he important building blocks that make up complex programs. By the end of 
 this workshop\, participants will be able to:Store data in variables and c
 ollections.Perform basic operations on these data.Use control flow and loo
 ps to write powerful code.Define functions to create repeatable units of b
 ehaviour. Pre-requisites:Basic computer science knowledge is strongly reco
 mmended. Attendees should be comfortable with the following terms: memory\
 , CPU\, variable\, control flow\, loop\, list\, collection. Some of these 
 concepts will be briefly defined\, but prior knowledge is an asset. No pri
 or programming experience is required to attend this workshop (although fa
 miliarity with another language may be helpful). To fully participate in t
 he exercises in this workshop\, attendees should have a working Python ins
 tallation and either Jupyter Lab or another IDE that can open Jupyter note
 books\, such as Microsoft Visual Studio Code. Alternatively\, examples can
  be run in Google Colab online (requires a Google account). A document wil
 l be circulated to help participants install Python and set up the environ
 ment. **IMPORTANT NOTICE: Attendance for graduate students and postdoctora
 l fellows is subsidized by Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies. All other at
 tendees such as undergraduate students and interns are required to purchas
 e a ticket to cover organizational and staffing costs. To complete your re
 gistration\, you must e-transfer $10 (undergraduate student/trainee) $25 (
 staff) or $100 (faculty) to workshop-micm [at] mcgill.ca within 24 hours o
 f RSVP'ing to this event. If we do not receive your e-transfer\, you will 
 have given up your spot.Online Event InstructionsSee Instructions
