Inhaltsangabe

In recent years, computer technology has invaded all fields of science and human activity. It is necessary to find simple, yet powerful, methods to help you perform your work effectively and easily, without sacrificing methodological standards. This book is a practical guide for professionals, educators, and students eager to harness the power of programming. The book bridges the gap between technical computing and real-world applications in behavioral science, and makes Python accessible to those with little to no coding background. Python is a powerful and comprehensive language that serves professionals, including those reluctant to use a computer, and students looking for a free tool to improve learning and research capacity. The book is aimed at psychologists, psychiatrists, neuroscientists, educators, social scientists, and students in these fields, who have no prior programming experience but need to expand their computing knowledge.

What You Will Learn:

• Program in an accessible language with broad possibilities
• Implement concrete projects related to daily professional activities in psychology, social sciences, and education
• Explore possibilities for automating common tasks that are boring or require a lot of control

Who This Book Is For:

Psychologists, psychiatrists, neuroscientists, educators, social scientists, and students in these fields, who have no prior programming experience but need to expand their computing knowledge for their work
