Registration is now open for Research Computing's eight-week-long course, Programming with Python. Sessions will be held both in person at Norlin Library, Room E206, and via Zoom.
Those interested should sign up for one of two sessions (but not both):
The first session starts Sept. 24 and runs Tuesdays from 9:30 to 11 a.m.
This workshop series provides an introduction into the world of Python and its various tools for researchers. Topics for this course include: variables, lists, loops, functions, modules and a variety of useful packages like NumPy or Matplotlib.
The course is not an introduction to programming, so attendees are expected to have a base level of knowledge on at least one other programming language.
Those interested may sign up to attend this session in-person, or online.
The second session starts Sept. 25 and runs Wednesdays from 1:30 to 3 p.m.
This workshop series provides a research-oriented introduction to programming in Python. During the first half of the course, we will discuss how to implement fundamental programming constructs, such as lists, loops, functions, and classes, within the Python language. We will then focus on environment management, efficiency considerations, I/O, and plotting with Python.
Please note this brief overview is not intended as a first introduction to programming. Attendees are expected to have beginner-level familiarity with least one other programming language.
Those interested may sign up to attend this session in-person, or online.
