Python is an excellent choice for dealing with (linguistic as well as literary) textual data, which is so typical of the Humanities. In this tutorial you will be thoroughly introduced to the language and be taught to program basic algorithmic procedures. This tutorial expects no prior experience with programming, although we hope to provide some interesting insights and skills for more advanced programmers as well.
