| ==Baby Names==
| |
| | |
| [[File:Being a twin means you always have a pillow or blanket handy.jpg|350px]] | |
| | |
| ===Download the Baby Names project===
| |
| | |
| You'll be playing with data from the list of all baby names in the US (used more than five times in a year) from the last several years:
| |
| | |
| # Right click the following file, click "Save Target as..." or "Save link as...", and save it to your Desktop directory: https://github.com/CommunityDataScienceCollective/CDSW_Babynames/archive/master.zip
| |
| # The ".zip" extension on the above file indicates that it is a compressed Zip archive. We need to "extract" its contents. To do this, click on "Start", then "Computer", and navigate to your Desktop directory. Find babynames.zip on your Desktop and double-click on it to "unzip" it. That will create a folder called babynames containing several files.
| |
| | |
| ===Test the Baby Names code===
| |
| | |
| Start a command prompt and navigate to the Desktop\babynames directory where the Baby Names code lives.
| |
| | |
| <div style="background-color:#CEE7DA; width:80%; padding:1.2em;">
| |
| '''On Windows'''
| |
| | |
| If the Baby Names project is at <code>C:\Users\'''{Your User Name}'''\Desktop\babynames</code>,
| |
| | |
| cd C:\Users\'''{Your User Name}'''\Desktop\babynames
| |
| | |
| will change you into that directory
| |
| </div>
| |
| | |
| <div style="background-color:#D8E8FF; width:80%; padding:1.2em;">
| |
| '''On Mac'''
| |
| | |
| Start a command prompt and navigate to the ~/Desktop/babynames directory where the Baby Names code lives. For example, if the Baby Names project is at <code>~/Desktop/babynames</code>,
| |
| | |
| cd ~/Desktop/babynames
| |
| | |
| will change you into that directory
| |
| </div>
| |
| | |
| '''On both operating systems'''
| |
| | |
| Once you've navigated to the correct directory, type
| |
| | |
| ls
| |
| | |
| to show you the source code files in that directory.
| |
| | |
| One of the files is <code>babynames1.py</code>, which has a ".py" extension indicating that it is a Python script. Type:
| |
| | |
| python babynames1.py
| |
| | |
| at the command prompt to execute the babynames1.py Python script. It should output text that says something like this:
| |
| | |
| There were 12 boys named mako
| |
| | |
| If it does not, let a mentor know.
| |
| | |
| ===Success!===
| |
| | |
| You've completed setup for the Baby Names project.
| |
| | |
| ==State Capitals==
| |
| | |
| We'll look at an example Python script that quizzes you on state capitals during the lecture on Saturday.
| |
| | |
| # Right click the following file, click "Save Target as..." or "Save link as...", and save it to your Desktop directory: http://mako.cc/teaching/2015/cdsw-spring/state_capitals.py
| |
| | |
| ==Success!==
| |
| | |
| You are done downloading the Saturday projects.
