Introduction to Python Programming for Librarians

Instructor: Andromeda Yelton Dates: November 1-28, 2013 Credits: 1.5 CEUs Price: $175

http://libraryjuiceacademy.com/066-python.php

In this course, you’ll learn the basics of the Python programming language from a library perspective. Programming topics will include variables, if/else, loops, functions, lists, dicts, and modules. You’ll get hands-on practice with each concept. Throughout the course we’ll apply our emerging Python knowledge to real-world library examples. You’ll leave the course with a plan for applying your programming skills to improve your own library services and workflows.

Andromeda Yelton is a librarian and software developer who's passionate about promoting coding, collaboration, and diversity in library technology. She has a BS in Mathematics from Harvey Mudd College, an MA in Classics from Tufts, and an MLS from Simmons. Before her MLS, she taught Latin to middle school boys; after, she did library outreach, software, and communications at the ebook startup Unglue.it. She is a member of the LITA Board of Directors.

This looks neat. Has anyone in the group taken any Library Juice courses? I am interested in the series on XML & linked data in particular (http://libraryjuiceacademy.com/certificate-xml-rdf.php) and would be glad to hear about your experiences.

I'm curious about these, too. Never taken them myself, but I'm a big fan of Library Juice as publisher.
