Not nearly as intimidating as initially expected, this module provided a history of Python and walk-through examples of using Python in different editors. For the remainder of the class, PythonWin will be the editor for coursework. Working in the interactive window will enable beginning programmers like me to see immediate results of scripting until becoming skilled enough to write more complex code as a script that will be saved. The syntax highlighting will also be beneficial in staying organized and consistent with the scripting.

| Course Folder and Subfolders Created by the Script |
The provided script in the assignment portion of this module was developed to create a course folder with module subfolders. The script ran in the blink of an eye, easily demonstrating the value of such a script when compared to creating each folder manually. There are so many valuable applications of such automation in GIS work! Shown at the right is a screenshot of the folder structure established by the script.
For someone whose last programming experience was Fortran, this was a great start to great programming opportunities.
