An iterative approach to streamlining analytical workflows using functions and for loops

Taught by: @samanthacsik
Duration: 2 hours

As your data processing and analyses get longer and more complex, the chances that you’ll benefit from writing functions and/or for loops will also increase. However, whether you're a new learner or seasoned programmer, it can sometimes feel overwhelming to know exactly where to start -- especially when you have an end goal that builds additional complexity/flexibility into your functions and for loops. Taking an iterative approach to building out your code can help make this process clearer, less daunting, and more fun. In this workshop, we'll use one case study to practice breaking down the function and for loop writing process into manageable, bite-sized steps.
