Welcome to the Saturday lecture section of the Boston Python Workshop! For about 2 hours, we'll work through an introduction to the Python programming language via both a lecture and hand-on exercises.
== Resources ==
* [[Boston Python Workshop 7/Data types| Python data types cheat sheet]].
* [[Boston Python Workshop 7/Loops| Python loops cheat sheet]].
* [https://raw.github.com/jvns/mtlpytutorial/master/capitals.py capitals.py] -- the state capitals example.
