Libraries hosting ‘Software Carpentry – Intermediate Python Workshop’

computer workshop generic

The Research Office and the Libraries Research Commons continue their partnership with “Software Carpentry – Intermediate Python Workshop,” a one-day, hands-on workshop that covers introductions to the python packages pandas (databases), seaborn (plotting), and scipy (statistics), on Feb 8.

Software Carpentry aims to help researchers get their work done in less time and with less pain by teaching them basic research computing skills. This hands-on workshop will cover more advanced topics including database manipulation and plotting. Participants will be encouraged to help one another and to apply what they have learned to their own research problems.

Participants must bring a laptop with a Mac, Linux, or Windows operating system (not a tablet, Chromebook, etc.) that they have administrative privileges on. They should have a few specific software packages installed (listed on the registration site).

The workshop will be held Feb. 8 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. in the Downtown Campus Library, Room 104. Registration is required.
