Once you are in a workshop's repository, click the 'launch binder' button to launch the Binder. A Binder is an interactive environment that allows you to run code in the web browser without the need for any installations. The image below is an example from the Introduction to Python Part-1 repository.

Workshop Recordings

Introduction to Python Part - 1

This is a recording of an Introduction to Python - part 1 workshop held by the CEAS Library during the summer of 2020.

This workshop covers the basics of Python, a widely-used and general-purpose programming language. Python is useful for a wide range of applications, including data processing, parsing and web services. This workshop is on the basics of Python, including strings, lists, tuples, dictionaries and comparators. Beginners are encouraged to follow along, and no prior programming experience is required. Please have Google Chrome (preferred) or Mozilla Firefox web browser installed for best Jupyter notebook performance.

Introduction to Python Part - 2

This is a recording of an Introduction to Python - part 2 workshop held by the CEAS Library during the summer of 2020.

This workshop deals with more basics of Python, which includes control flow, loops, functions and variable scope. This workshop is beginner-friendly, however Introduction to Python - Part 1 is recommended. Please have Google Chrome (preferred) or Mozilla Firefox web browser installed for best Jupyter notebook performance.
