First of all, a huge thanks to all who signed up to attend the workshop, and to Mick Twomey for helping me. Next to is thanks Dogpatch Labs for hosting us.
During the workshop, I realised the Python scripts some folks were using were the older version (in Python 2 as well), if you had problems running the scripts, you can download the latest Python scripts again (I've removed all the other .zip files) via https://bitbucket.org/codinggrace/python-project-workshop/downloads/

We ran out of time at the end, here are some resources to follow up:
- Hitch Hikers Guide to Python - docs.python-guide.org

- Other fun ways to learn to code - slant.co/options/17534/alternatives/~codewars-alternatives
- Coding Grace's resources- codinggrace.com/resources/#python -- I will update this page with the ones above
After you are comfortable with basics of Python, you should try Newcoder.io tutorials, which are self-driven projects.
