INTRO TO REACT JS I
This workshop (the first in a series of two) will introduce modern web application development with JavaScript.

INTRO TO PROGRAMMING IN PYTHON I
This workshop will introduce the fundamentals of the Python programming language. Students will learn to represent and store data using Python data types and variables, and use conditionals and loops to control the flow of programs. Complex data structures like lists, sets, dictionaries, and tuples to store collections of related data will also be introduced. In the Second part of this series (future), students will also learn to create custom functions as well as learn to find and use modules in the Python Standard Library and other third-party libraries (i.e. NLTK).
This workshop is intended for students who already have some programming experience in Javascript, C#, C, C++, Java….

INTRO TO WEB DEVELOPMENT WITH PYTHON
This workshop will introduce web development using the Python micro framework: ‘Flask’.
Flask is a Python web framework that provides useful tools and features that make creating web applications in Python easier. It is also a very accessible framework for new developers as you can build a web application quickly using only a single Python file.
Suggested: some basic programming knowledge – ideally Python but JavaScript also works… and basic knowledge of HTML markup and CSS.
