Over at the Programming Historian, we're seeking to add to our collection of lessons, which already covers things like grabbing text from webpages, counting word frequencies, and the basics of topic modeling. We have a lot of ideas about what other lessons we might provide, but we thought we'd ask first: What do you want to learn?
As a humanist (you don't need to be a historian), are there some specific programming tasks you'd like to perform? What are they?
(We find that the lessons work best when they're targeted at accomplishing a particular task, so the more specific the better!)
