[Air-L] BOOK ANNOUNCEMENT: Programming with Python for Social Scientists

[Brooker, Phillip]

Hi all

My book, "Programming with Python for Social Scientists", is out today (full details on the publisher's website: https://uk.sagepub.com/en-gb/eur/programming-with-python-for-social-scientists/book259581), available at places that sell these kind of books :-) It's designed for total newcomers to coding, building up to cover how to use Python to engage in lots of different social-science-relevant tasks including web-scraping, working with social media APIs, pulling and decoding datasets in different formats, and visualising data. Some testimonials below:

"Great resource for all students and researchers looking for a clear, accessible, yet comprehensive introduction to Python and coding." (Nicola Perra, University of Greenwich)

"This is an engaging, insightful and sophisticated guide to Python for social scientists. It's a manual of the highest quality and a practice led intervention with the potential to shape the future of the digital social sciences. I can't recommend it highly enough." (Mark Carrigan, University of Cambridge)

Happy to answer any questions anyone might have, please share widely (any help is very much appreciated), thank you!

Best wishes

Phil Brooker
