# First Python Notebook

A step-by-step, freely available class that teaches data analysis with Python and Jupyter notebooks, aimed at journalists and other newcomers to programming.

First Python Notebook is a guided class that walks through analyzing data using Python and the Jupyter notebook, taught as part of a data-journalism curriculum. It is offered as a free online class alongside the repository, with links to more about the class and to related classes in the same series.

The repository is a Makefile-based project that documents how to contribute to the material, and it uses common Python data tools including pandas, Jupyter and Altair for the hands-on exercises. It is licensed under the MIT license and aimed at readers with no prior programming background who want a practical introduction to data analysis.
