Abstract
An introduction to the topic of using Digital Humanities assignments for an introductory programming course in Python, which lays out the context of the book. It begins with a brief anecdote about what led the author to initially develop these assignments, provides a brief overview of the field of Digital Humanities, and introduces the reader to how the book is arranged with a hint of what is to come.
