Emojis are a popular way to add additional meaning to text messages. Because they are often displayed as tiny images, the design of an emoji needs to be clear and relatively simple to be able to be effectively used. This means that many of them can be created out of a few simple, but purposeful, shapes. The Processing graphics library for Python provides us with an easy (and free!) way to get started creating images out of simple shapes. Why learn Python? Because of its many areas of use, Python is a great programming language to learn. As a high-level programming language, Python code tends to be closer to human language and easier to understand than other, lower-level languages. The programming language itself also includes many built-in features and functions which let you focus on accomplishing whatever it is that you’re trying to do, and there are many freely available Python libraries and modules to further extend the capabilities of the language. The bottom line From machine learning, to web development, to art, to automation, Python’s popularity— ranked 4th on Stack Overflow’s list of technologies used by professional developers— has only been growing. Regardless of your past experience with programming, now is a great time to get started with Python!

About Our Ladies Learning Code Program

Our Ladies Learning Code program offers women, men, transgender and beyond gender binary adults hands-on, project-based learning experiences that are designed to give beginners the skills and confidence they need to become digital creators. Ladies Learning Code programs tackle the tech gender gap one positive, empowering learning experience at a time.

Our workshops, courses and meetups are open to adults of all ages and genders but are designed to be a space where women explicitly are welcome to learn. Workshops cover everything from introductory HTML & CSS, to WordPress, Python, Ruby, artificial intelligence, web design and more. They are especially popular and successful because of our high ratio (4:1 in most programs!) of learners to mentors at every experience, which is only possible because of overwhelming support from the communities in which we operate.
