Digital Humanities, Data Literacy, Data Science - the digital turn has long since arrived in ancient studies. For the study of Akkadian, Egyptian, Ancient Greek, Latin, and other ancient written languages, this has opened up new possibilities. Therefore, it is helpful to learn programming in addition to the ancient scripts and grammar. In this course, you will learn how to process ancient textual data using the widely-used programming language Python. In addition to basic programming knowledge, you will learn how to read in data, sort and filter it, modify it, and save it back in the desired format. No prior programming knowledge is required; it will be acquired during the course. Basic knowledge of an ancient written language is expected. If possible, please bring your own laptop so that you can have the programming environment running on your work device. For this, you need an account/login with administrative rights on your laptop. In the Moodle course related to this class, you will find a list of fonts and software that should be installed in advance, as well as support guides. Please confirm your intention to participate with the instructor by email until Tuesday, October 16th, so that they can contact you and adapt the course based on your background and technical equipment. Please make sure to notify us if you will not be able to use your own laptop. The language of this course is English. Start date: 23rd October 2023. Schließen
