What is this session?
This is an experimental, participatory session that aims to give a hands-on taste of (a) coding in Python (b) ChatGPT and (c) using ChatGPT to generate and learn Python code. You won’t be an expert by the end, but perhaps you’ll have a sense of some possibilities and the confidence to explore them.
What will you get out of this?
- A sense of how and why you might use an LLM to learn a programming language
- A sense of how and why you might use an LLM to program
- A hands-on taste of doing some simple analysis
Resources used in the session
- ChatGPT doesn’t replace a good introductory overview of the Python language. Ellen Duong of Brown’s CCV has a great hour-long deep dive on YouTube
- Open A.I. the company behind ChatGPT.
