According to the TIOBE (https://www.tiobe.com/tiobe-index) and PYPL (https://pypl.github.io/PYPL.html) indices, Python is the top computer programming language in the world. This popularity is primarily driven by its easy-to-learn syntax and versatility. In this talk, we will quickly review the basics of Python, including how to quickly become productive with the language. We will also learn about the Naval Research Laboratory’s TurboPy Coding Boot Camp (https://www.nrl.navy.mil/STEM/TurboPy), its approach to training newcomers to Python software development, and ways you or your team can leverage the curriculum (for free or minimal cost). We will end with a demonstration of popular Python data science and scientific computing packages.
