<article class=col1_2>
<p>
This class is aimed at people who are studying linguistics, the
humanities, or textually based social science topics,  who have never
coded before in their life, and realize that they could be more
productive in a lot of their research projects if they could code a
little. We'll also spend quite a bit of time looking at libraries and
tools that will allow you to get things done. It's not intended to be a
general introduction to computer science &ndash; we won't spend time on
learning basic algorithms like sorting or data structures like hash
tables. Every modern major programming language comes with built in
libraries for these key things. They were written by people who know
what they're doing, and we'll just learn to use them effectively.
</p>

<p>
Programming is a craft. No one ever became good at a craft by listening
to someone talk or reading a book. It can be a helpful starting point to
listen to someone talk or to read a book. But you become good at a craft
by practicing it. We'll spend time in class practicing, but you'll only
become good at your craft if you also practice in your own time.
