The material here provides a brief overview of the applications of python in the field of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences. The objective is to introduce the basics of python to beginners in the fields of Earth and Atmospheric sciences. The overview is mainly aimed at people in the Earth and Atmospheric Sciences community but it is fairly generalized. The basics can be a great resource for beginners to programming and members of other communities as well.
This material is aimed towards beginning programmers and can serve as a very good resource for intermediate or advanced programmers as well.
