Programming is a means for exercising comprehensive control over
information and the media which carry it. Professionals in many fields now
have ample motivation to learn how to program. This four week course in the
Python Programming language will provide students a grounding in the basic
concepts common to all computer programming languages and instill some good
habits in coding. By the end of this course, a student will understand the
structure and syntax of a program, modular programming, and the basic data
and control structures used in all programming languages. Beginning
Programming in Python is suitable for the student who feels comfortable
with Excel Spreadsheet formulas and functions or who has created macros for
office applications. There is also the opportunity to get a solid grounding
in our Preparing to Program course, offered prior to this one. This course
is followed by Beginning Programming in Python, Part II.

Tony Castelletto has been programming on one platform or another since the
late 1980s. He received his MLIS in 2008 from Drexel University. Tony has
worked on unusual information projects throughout his career starting as a
technician on small NASA missions, managing the information pipelines that
carried data from satellite to ground. He also worked on the NSF Net as a
Network Engineer. Tony received his introduction to Library Science working
as a programmer on Digital Library projects for the University of
Michigan's Digital Library Initiative. Following his library science
education, Tony curated data collections for the Linguistic Data Consortium
where he also helped produced electronic dictionaries in Yoruba, Mawukakan,
and Tamil.
