Standard Set Answer:I'm totally new to this site and not quite aware of how it works yet, so answering this is a bit hard. My initial interest was web-scraping which got me into using NodeXl and Gephi and then pushed me to investigate scripting with Python, which I'm still figuring out.

Location: Tampa Bay
Standard Set Answer:I've been wanting to learn about coding for a long time, but either the class was too intimidating or the cost was prohibitive. By combining coding with journalism it makes it more relateable to me, and also, it's free. :)
I hope to be proficient enough in coding to market it as a job skill.
Sorry, I am new and so don't want to do any study group organizing. I am getting a feel for the site.
Tuesday or Wednesday is better for me.
Anytime.
No preference.

Data journalist (work in progress) :)
Location: London, UK
Standard Set Answer:Hello everybody,
In September I will start a MA in Interactive Journalism. I have no coding experience but I am aware of the importance of programming in the newsroom (and I am super motivated to learn).
My aim is exactly that: To be able to code proficiently and, thus, improve the quality of my reporting.
If you guys need an extra help with the organization of the study group, just give it a shout! :)
I am based in London (UK), so we have only one hour difference, which is great! I believe a session of 1,5 hour max, starting in the evening (I would say 8pm CEST) would be a good choice. At the moment I don't have a preferred day.
