Git and Python Workshop

On 4/19/2015, the GWU chapter of the ACM hosted a Git and Python workshop led by Neel Shah and Brannon McGraw. In it, attendees learned the basics of Python, Github, and then immediately used their skills to code a hangman game.

Here is the basic outline of the workshop:

      • stdin/stdout
        • input from user using raw_input
        • printing things (format strings, new lines, lists)

        • accessing dictionary.txt file
        • stripping each item of the newline character
      • string manipulation
        • substrings, indicies, lower(), isalpha(), comparison
      • random lib
        • generate random number with randrange()
    • Teach basics of Git
      • What is it, how to use it, why its awesome
      • Forking
      • Branches
      • Pull/Push
      • Describe it as a Graph
      • Give sencario of how used
    • Make hangman!
      • Everyone fork repo
      • Describe the basics of how hangman.py is supposed to work
      • Go over loop structure and guessing method
      • Everyone make a branch for a function and make it work
