Programming for Beginners: A Language You Always Wanted to Learn but Never Got To.

This semilab is aimed at those with little or no programming experience. We will learn the basics of Python scripting language, starting with the essential concepts, such as different variable and data types, function libraries, data structures, information storage in and retrieval from files, data processing and visualization using functions, graphs, and more. We will learn, step by step, how to write a code for plotting basic algebraic functions and data sets using Numpy and matplotlib libraries. We will then use our newly developed skills for a more advanced data analysis and visualization.
