About the Lesson This lesson teaches novice programmers to write modular code to perform data analysis using Python. The emphasis, however, is on teaching language-agnostic principles of programming such as automation with loops and encapsulation with functions, see [Best Practices for Scientific Computing][best-practices] and [Good enough practices in scientific computing][good-practices] to learn more. The example used in this lesson analyses a set of 12 files with simulated inflammation data collected from a trial for a new treatment for arthritis. Learners are shown how it is better to automate analysis using functions instead of repeating analysis steps manually. The rendered version of the lesson is available at: https://swcarpentry.github.io/python-novice-inflammation/. This lesson is also available in [R] and [MATLAB].
