Several Information Management Courses use Python. Introduction to Information Management (INF 6000) includes a small assignment using Python. Introduction to Computer Programming (INF 6050) goes further in learning programming skills. Being able to use Python can make projects in Information Visualization (INF 7492) really stand-out. It also makes learning additional programming languages, such as Javascript, a little easier.
Advanced Topics in Information Management are offered as needed, and recent courses have included Advanced Programming with Python.
