Visualising Texts

Imports and Exports

First, let us recap yesterday's concordance programme.

I asked you to create a programme to display every instance of the word "to" in our sample sentence, in the context of the word immediately before and after it. I suggested that you use:

  • a List
  • an Iterator / While Loop
  • the .join() and .append() Functions
  • a For Loop

Python for the Humanities Workshop #1

Welcome

Welcome to Programming for the Humanities

First, let us introduce ourselves! Click on the grey box below this one and press RUN at the top of your screen.

The Jupyter Notebook

This is a Jupyter Notebook. It allows you to practice and prototype your code in a cloud environment (rather than directly on your computer) and to document your work through text boxes above and below each section of code.

Instructions (more or less) on One-Man Crowd-Sourcing, as presented at #Collabw16

Introduction

There are many ways you can create a crowd-sourcing platform; the following, although only one of many, allows for a significant degree of flexability and customisation for precisely zero cost. The only requirement is that your initial data be formatted as an XML.

Sign up for services

In order to develop your crowdsourcing site, you will need accounts for the following services:

  • Google: A Free E-Mailand Cloud Storage Provider
  • x10host.com: A Free Hosting Service, allowing full installations of Wordpress
