Dear all, In July Edinburgh Genomics will be offering the following two 5-day Python workshops, taught by Dr. Martin Jones of Python for Biologists ( http://pythonforbiologists.com): DATA MANIPULATION AND VISUALISATION WITH PYTHON, 10-14 July 2017: For details and to register: http://genomics.ed.ac.uk/services/data-manipulation-and-visualisation-python ADVANCED PYTHON FOR BIOLOGISTS, 24-28 July 2017: For details and to register: http://genomics.ed.ac.uk/services/advanced-python-biologists The Advanced course is aimed at people who want to develop bigger or more complicated programs in Python, or to learn more about the language, or to explore different approaches (object-oriented, functional) to programming. The material covered is very general purpose and can be applied to any kind of problem. The Dataviz course is about using a set of Python libraries that are specifically designed for data exploration and visualisation. In the Dataviz course, we're going to concentrate on using these tools to explore patterns in data, but the actual code that we write will be very simple - mostly we will be calling the functions and methods in these libraries. To summarise: if you want to learn more about the language, build more complicated programs, or need to work with existing complicated programs, attend the Advanced course. If you want to explore datasets, find patterns, produce figures and charts, attend the Dataviz course. For both workshops knowledge at the level of the Edinburgh Genomics workshop INTRODUCTION TO PYTHON FOR BIOLOGISTS ( http://genomics.ed.ac.uk/services/introduction-python-biologists) is sufficient. Please don't hesitate to contact me in case you have any questions.
