Meetup Recording: Aug 5th, 2025

This is a video recording of “Python Basics for Absolute Beginners”. The agenda for the session is:

A 60-Minute Hands-On Workshop

Vibe Coding AI is a new, creative way to build AI applications with AI—fast, idea-driven, and surprisingly accessible. But to build AI applications effectively with AI, you need a foundation in Python. This workshop is your on-ramp.

Whether you’re brand new to coding or returning after a break, this session will give you a confident start with Python—the most popular language in AI development today.

🧭 What We’ll Cover

In this 60-minute workshop, you’ll learn by doing, using a series of beginner-friendly Jupyter notebooks:

  • How to write and run Python code interactively

  • Key programming concepts: variables, input/output, conditionals, loops, lists, and functions

  • How to build small but powerful programs like a quiz app

  • Why mastering these fundamentals matters when building AI-powered applications

🔧 Tools We’ll Use

  • Python – the essential language for AI, data science, and scientific programming

  • Jupyter Notebooks – an interactive coding environment that’s great for beginners

  • MyBinder – run notebooks directly in your browser, no installation needed

📦 Materials & Access

All participants will receive access to:

  • The complete set of annotated Jupyter notebooks

  • A MyBinder launch link to run notebooks live in the cloud

  • Solution notebooks and wrap-up materials to keep learning after the session

👥 Who Should Attend

This workshop is ideal for:

  • Absolute beginners to programming or Python

  • Learners with some coding experience who want a clear and structured Python refresher

  • Anyone curious about how Python connects to AI development

This session is designed to be hands-on, accessible, and encouraging. No prior knowledge required—just curiosity and a willingness to experiment.
