Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. The two-week OxTalks freeze period starts on Monday 2nd March. During this time, there will be no facility to publish or edit events. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period. Once Oxford Events launches, you will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
This Kick-off will introduce you to the Python programming language, covering all the major concepts and its features. During the course a problem is posed, and you will use the knowledge you’ve gained to solve these by writing small Python programs, following along with your instructor. Computers and computer programs are based upon logic, so there is a little logical thinking required – along with the application of a little basic arithmetic. In addition, there will be a number of small ‘challenges’ that individuals will attempt to solve themselves. Our tutor will be on hand to help you, as necessary. This course is for people who have little or no experience with coding and programming.
