Episode 3: The Very Basics of Python

In this video I cover the very basics of running Python code directly from the terminal (via the Python Interactive Interpreter), as well as from file. Here I introduce: Comments Basic Data Types (integers, floating point numbers, strings, and booleans) The print function fstring I go into all of these in much greater detail later in the series. --------------------- In this tutorial series I will be covering all of the code I teach in my intro to digital humanities class at Leiden University. You can find all of the code at https://www.github.com/vierth/humanitiesTutorial and the class syllabus at https://www.pvierth.com/s/HackingFall2018.pdf This is designed to help anyone who has never coded learn the basics of Python for text mining and data visualization. We will be using the Anaconda distribution of Python 3, which you can download here: https://www.anaconda.com/download/ Thanks to Leiden University's ECOLe and Thomas Vorisek for all of the video, audio, and editing work! Thanks also to Robin Fleming of Boston College (who suggested the name "Hacking the Humanities") and Austin Mason of Carleton College (for coming up with the name in the first place).
