As an introduction to programming for the Digital Humanities (DH)  this book presents six key
assignments oriented on DH topics. The topics include Computing Change Over Time (calculating
burials at a historic cemetery)  Visualizing Change Over Time (visualizing the burials at the
historic cemetery)  Textual Analysis (finding word frequencies and stop words in public domain
texts)  XML Transformation (transforming a simplified version of XML into HTML styled with CSS)
Stylometry (comparing the measured features of graphic images)  and Social Network Analysis
(analyzing extended relationships in historic circles). The book focuses on the practical
application of these assignments in the classroom  providing a range of variations for each
assignment  which can be selected on the basis of students' specific programming background and
skills  atomic assignments  which can be used to give students the experience they need to
successfully complete the main assignments  and some common pitfalls and gotchas to manage in
the classroom. The book's chief goals are to introduce novice computer science (CS) students to
programming for DH  and to offer them valuable hands-on experience with core programming
concepts.
