The Programming Historian

Abstract

The Programming Historian is an open-access introduction to programming in Python, aimed at working historians (and other humanists) with little previous experience. There are two editions available here; the second is currently under development. We are constantly adding new material, much of it driven by reader request. We welcome questions, corrections and suggestions for improvement. At this point we are still figuring out how best to allow community participation, while maintaining the coherence and direction of a more monographic work. If you e-mail us at wturkel@uwo.ca, acrymbl@uwo.ca and/or amaceach@uwo.ca, we are happy to respond to you personally and try to incorporate your comments. In the future we may come up with something more elegant... but, hey, it's a work in progress.
