My First Step into Programming: Creating a Software I Needed with Python
As a scientist, it is routine to design experiments and collect and analyze data from these experiments. Solving the problems, you encounter in these experiments and developing new methods are essential skills for a scientist. In this context, as a scientist, Python has become a crucial tool for me to use in my laboratory work. Python is an excellent tool for analyzing and visualizing data. It is also possible to perform statistical analyses with Python’s statistical libraries. In addition to these, I can use Python not only for data analysis but also to develop various software that can help me in the lab. The great thing about Python is that I can do all this without a professional developer.
The biggest reason I use Python is that Python codes are understandable and intuitive. I can access all kinds of information from the internet while coding, and I can find answers to the problems I encounter. Apart from analyzing my data, I also started using Python to produce software that would facilitate some of my work in the lab. I developed my first software for an easy but needed a lot of jobs in the lab.
Solutions are used a lot in studies in the fields of microbiology, molecular biology and biochemistry. Calculations are necessary for the preparation of various solutions, including buffer…
