PatchyPython

Python for beginners, experts, and everyone in between. I'm an Associate Professor in AI at Queen Mary, University of London, and I'm using this channel to share educational materials, interesting projects and for general coding fun.

Highlights so far:
* Computer Programming - a general purpose introductory Python course for people with no previous programming experience, based on Jupyter Notebooks.
* Coding for [Bio]Scientists - meant for Biologists, with a Bioinformatics twist. Also based on Jupyter Notebooks.
* ...and other videos

I'm planning to launch the Patchy Python course soon - a hands-on Python course for those with no access to a computer. Subscribe and check back soon!
