Computer Literacy for Python (Mac User)

In this workshop you will learn how to use a computer operating system (OS) the way a computer programmer uses it. It will cover OS techniques that are essential foundations for programming in any major programming language, but with a focus on foundations for programming in Python. We will cover files and file systems, how your computer "thinks about" the file locations and how to move them efficiently, reading file properties, essential OS utilities, how to use the command line to manage files, and how to troubleshoot some common problems. This workshop will focus on the Mac OS, including effective use of the Finder window and command line Terminal, major utilities such as TextEdit and Activity Monitor, and the macOS file system.
