And I'm like, "Wow, that is a long away from, you know, typing in Hello World," you know, 10 Hello World, 20 go to 10Ġ3:58 Cornelius van Lit: That's right. And that's how I learned in programming." And then I see my daughters and stuff and you know, there's like adventure games, where you program your way through Dungeons and you know, robots, and all sorts of stuff.

And it's like, "Well, I got a magazine, and then I would type in like a C code into something, and then I would make that run. I talk to people like what their experience was, who are our age and and generally that age.
That's really cool.Ġ3:26 Michael Kennedy: It's really amazing. And it's really so great to see that there are so many resources out there now for children to learn programming. Then I guess I just showed it to one of the teachers and he was like, "Well, actually this school doesn't even have a website yet, so."Ġ3:09 Michael Kennedy: That's really cool.Ġ3:09 Cornelius van Lit: After that, my dad gave me this brick of a book on Visual Basic, thinking that well, okay, it got visual elements to it, you know, but that was way too hard. It was some sort of, you know, HTML For Dummies kind of book and that's what I used. How did you even get that opportunity to do that?Ġ2:56 Cornelius van Lit: I don't know exactly how I got this book. That was weird, right?Ġ2:48 Cornelius van Lit: Everybody knew that that was not the right way to do it.Ġ2:50 Michael Kennedy: That's right, yes, they did. The weren't really IEs, at least, not that I know of that was like Front Page and Dreamweaver, but you know that was kind of cheating in a way.Ġ2:43 Michael Kennedy: Yeah, it was like you write in Word and then like you publish it as a web page. It was actually, if you will believe it, the last year of my elementary school, I programmed the website of the school, this was 1999, so I just did it in Note.Ġ2:33 Cornelius van Lit: Yeah, just HTML tags. How'd you get into programming in Python?Ġ2:20 Cornelius van Lit: Well, this goes back many years. Before we get into all that though, you know, let's start with your story. That's our goal.Ġ2:10 Michael Kennedy: There was this article recently written that Python is eating the world and it may be true. I know we're going to have a fun conversation talking about digital humanities, which, honestly, I didn't know a whole lot about before we started talking, but it's really a cool intersection of well humanities and software.Ġ2:03 Cornelius van Lit: That's right, and it's only growing and growing, and soon it will just consume the entirety of the humanities. Cornelis, welcome to Talk Python To Me.Ġ1:49 Cornelius van Lit: Thanks for having me.Ġ1:50 Michael Kennedy: It's great to have you here. If you've been on the fence about trying one of our courses, here's a chance to get three of them, along with a bunch of other stuff, just visit talk python.fm/hb2019, that's hb2019, and be sure to check it out before time runs out. For a couple of weeks, you can get three of our courses, along with great content from Real Python, PyBites and many others for as little as just $1. We've teamed up with Humble Bundle to launch a great bundle of Python educational goodness. Hey folks, before we get to the interview, I have some exciting news. Please check out what they're offering during their segments. Follow me on Twitter, where I'm Keep up with the show and listen to past episodes at talkpython.fm and follow the show on Twitter via This episode is brought to you by the podcast Command Line Heroes from Red Hat and Linode. Welcome to Talk Python To Me, a weekly podcast on Python, the language, the libraries, the ecosystem and the personalities. This is Talk Python To Me, Episode 230 recorded August 27th, 2019. Even if you aren't interested in digital humanities and that type of research, the example set by Cornelius is a blueprint for bringing Python into your world and for those around you. What he's doing with Python is pretty awesome. He's a scholar of Medieval Islamic philosophy and works at Utrecht University in the Netherlands. This episode is an amazing example of this. It can amplify whatever you're interested in or what you've specialized in for your career. 00:00 Michael Kennedy: You've often heard me talk about Python as a super power.
