BIF601 - Programming Essentials

Knowing how to program will allow a bioinformatics researcher to write code to manage and analyze data sets. This seven-week course will teach the fundamentals of the Python programming language. The Python language has been chosen for its easy-to-learn nature and its widespread use in bioinformatics and related industries. The course will commence by teaching basics such as variables and types, conditionals and loops followed by more advanced topics like object-oriented code, methods and libraries.

Upon successful completion of all three courses within the program, students will receive a certificate of completion.
