This course is designed for professionals in the fields of data science, data processing, and GIS who are interested in automating their workflows and increasing productivity. No prior coding knowledge is required as all concepts and terminology will be thoroughly explained during the introductory section of the course. More detailed explanations will be provided for complex topics later on.  The final part of the course will introduce Python, a programming language commonly used for workflow automation in various software applications. While Python will be the primary coding language used, examples of other programming languages will also be included throughout the course. Once you grasp the fundamentals of coding, you will be able to understand the functionality of different programming languages, enabling you to learn others as well.

Description

This course is for professional data scientists, data processors and GIS professionals who want to automate their workflows and speed up production.No prior knowledge of coding is needed. All the concepts and special words will be explained during the introduction part of the course. Later more in-depth explanations will be given for more involved topics.The last part of the course will be an introduction to Python with is a programing language that is commonly used in workflow automatization in a variety of software. Although we will be using Python as the main practical coding language there are examples of other coding languages used throughout the course. When you understand the basics of coding it is possible to figure out what different programming languages do even if you can understand it all making it possible to learn others.Python is a good choice for a beginner coding language because it does not use a compiler it is an interpreted language which means that one line at a time is converted to machine code making an overarching program structure unnecessary although functions, classes and more can be used later when you are more familiar with its use and want to do more complex coding.No software-specific procedures and functions will be covered because there is such a large area of the data market when python is used within other software that has its dedicated functions. This course will teach you the basics of coding. Even if you are not planning to use Python in the end.
