This hands-on workshop is to enable people who are not programmers to get into the world of programming. These two days are just an initial foray, to give people the basic ideas and a taste of what it is like.
The course will introduce programming using Python to people who have little or no idea what programming is. This will be a version for adults of the sort of new computing material that will be being taught to primary and secondary school students starting next year. The goal is to make sure people begin to understand the theory and practice of programming and computer science, but coming to it from a very practical viewpoint: theory emerges from practice.
There will be four sessions, each of three hours, each structured as a short introduction to a few topics, followed by a series of practical exercises to investigate the topics, and finishing with a short review/compare/contrast to consolidate the material of the session. The introductions will be part lecture part interactive demonstration – PDF files rather than paper will be provided for any overhead slides used in lecture mode. The series of practical exercises will be attenders, working in pairs, writing programs as directed by worksheets. The review session will a group discussion, and possibly live coding by the workshop leader, based around sample answers to the exercises.
You can find more details of what the course will cover and register here.

THE BLOCKHEADS Formed in 1977 to promote Ian Durys’ album ‘New Boots and Panties’ on the first Stiff Records tour of the U.K. – Chaz Jankel, Norman Watt-Roy, Charlie Charles, John Turnbull and Mick Gallagher – became known as The Blockheads.
They subsequently went on tour as Ian Dury & The Blockheads and in 1978 released ‘What a Waste’; a single that reached #5 in the U.K. charts. They were then joined by saxophonist Davey Payne and toured supporting Lou Reed across the U.S.A.
In 1979 ‘Hit me with your Rhythm Stick’ (#1 in the UK charts) and ‘Reasons to be Cheerful, Part 3’ (#3 in the UK charts) were released along with the classic ‘Do It Yourself’ LP.
In 1982 Ian Dury & The Blockheads disbanded until the early 1990’s when they reformed to perform at the ‘Madstock’ festival in Finsbury Park headlined by Madness.
The Blockheads still play with all the energy and passion evoked during the time the late, great Ian Dury was at their helm. Be sure to catch the show live!
