        Programming is becoming an increasingly essential part of the tool kit for biologists of all types. 
        This biology-oriented programming course, doesn’t require prior programming knowledge ,
        and will concentrate on the features of the language that are most useful to biologists: for 
        example, we are much more interested in manipulating text such as DNA and Protein sequences, 
        than the average programmer. 
        Topics covered: 
        - Printing and manipulating text
        - Reading and writing files 
        - Lists and loops 
        - Writing our own functions 
        - Conditional tests 
        - Regular expressions 
        - Dictionaries 
        - Classes
        - Modules and Packages
        - Handling Errors and Exception
        - Introduction to Biopython
