Introduction to Python Programming
What did I Learn:
- Basics of Python programming language, a versatile language used in web development, data analysis, and machine learning.
- Practical applications through projects such as Madlibs, Jackpot, Rock Paper Scissors, and Tic Tac Toe.
- In Part I, understanding of Python fundamentals like variables, expressions, controls, and loops.
- In Part II, a deeper dive into Python data structures like lists, dictionaries, tuples, and sets.
How the activity relates to coursework or your career goals:
Python programming is a valuable skill in the realm of Management Information Systems (MIS). As MIS is centered around optimizing business processes using technology, understanding Python can enable more efficient data manipulation, analysis, and system development. By attending this introductory session, I am broadening my technical toolkit, which will enhance my proficiency in managing and optimizing information systems. Furthermore, with MIS aiming to bridge the gap between business needs and IT capabilities, having firsthand knowledge of a widely-used programming language like Python strengthens my potential to provide tech-based solutions that align with business goals. As I progress in my MIS coursework and future career, this foundation in Python can open doors to various opportunities in data analytics, system development, and project management, as reflected in Dr. Okhandiar’s vast experience and applications across multiple industries.
