Scientific Computing Python Workshop 10/23+24 at Rosenstiel-This session is FULL
About this Event
The Software Carpentry (software-carpentry.org) community helps researchers get their work done in less time and with less pain by teaching them basic research computing skills. This hands-on "Python" workshop will cover basic concepts and tools, including program design, version control, data management, and task automation.
Participants will be encouraged to help one another and to apply what they have learned to their own research problems. The course is aimed at graduate students and other researchers. You don't need to have any previous knowledge of the tools that will be presented at the workshop.
Thursday and Friday, October 23+24 2025, 9:00 AM - 4:30 PM | Course Hours BOTH DAYS | Add to your Google Calendar.
