# Introduction

Welcome to **coding for economists**, a guide for economists on what programming is, why it's useful, and how to do it.
[![DOI](https://zenodo.org/badge/316842103.svg)](https://zenodo.org/doi/10.5281/zenodo.10465358) ![GitHub Release](https://img.shields.io/github/v/release/aeturrell/coding-for-economists)

Welcome to the 1st edition of **Coding for Economists**, a guide for economists on what programming is, why it's useful, and how to do it.

The book aims to give you the skills you need to code for economics, while also giving you tips and tricks about programming more generally that might be useful to you. If you're a complete beginner at coding, we have designed the first chapters to help you get started from scratch. But if you've dabbled before, or even if you're a sophisticated coder, there's likely to be material here relevant to you too.

<p>Welcome to the 1st edition of <strong>Coding for Economists</strong>, a guide for economists on what programming is, why it’s useful, and how to do it.</p>
<p>The book aims to give you the skills you need to code for economics, while also giving you tips and tricks about programming more generally that might be useful to you. If you’re a complete beginner at coding, we have designed the first chapters to help you get started from scratch. But if you’ve dabbled before, or even if you’re a sophisticated coder, there’s likely to be material here relevant to you too.</p>
<p>Naturally, at times, we have made choices regarding what to include, what to omit, and what to recommend. We have given recommendations based on what will serve you best in the long-run. Very occasionally, like the Karate Kid painting Mr Miyagi’s fence, you will wonder why such and such a thing is useful for coding in an economics context. But, also like the Karate Kid, you will find that you weren’t <em>just</em> learning to paint a fence, you were becoming a karate (coding) master.</p>
