An h.lab DIY tutorial by Micah Saxton and Michael Hemenway.

A gentle introduction to coding in Python for humanities research. We start by showcasing a few kinds of Python projects and brainstorming about how principles or insights from these projects could be implemented in your own research. Following that, you will learn a few fundamentals to make you comfortable getting started with Python. Finally, we will provide resources you can use to learn Python on your own.
