Dear all, This is to let you know that we have a few places left on our Introduction to Python for Biologists course from 4-8 April 2016. As Python is an ideal first language for beginning programmers, this course is extremely well suited for those working in biology / genomics without any previous programming experience. The course will be taught by Martin Jones, founder of Python for Biologists (http://pythonforbiologists.com) and a very experienced Python teacher, assisted by myself. Having two instructors for around 20 students will guarantee lots of one-on-one time. For more information and to register, please have a look at: https://genomics.ed.ac.uk/introduction-python-biologists-april-2016 Note that the course will be repeated from 11-15 July 2016: https://genomics.ed.ac.uk/introduction-python-biologists-july-2016 Finally, I don't want to withhold from you some of the feedback we received for last week's course: *"Brilliantly well-run. From the book; to the USB stick with all the files we need; to the topics covered; to the system of helping us one-on-one, I cannot fault the course."* *"It was a great workshop full of amazing content and great people. Thank you!"* *"#Drawing upon 15 years of teaching experience at a University, I find: Num_faults == 0"* With kind regards, Bert -- Bert Overduin, PhD TRAINING AND OUTREACH BIOINFORMATICIAN Bert.Overduin@ed.ac.uk EDINBURGH GENOMICS The University of Edinburgh Ashworth Laboratories The King's Buildings Charlotte Auerbach Road Edinburgh EH9 3FL Scotland, United Kingdom tel. +44(0)1316507403 http://genomics.ed.ac.uk The University of Edinburgh is a charitable body, registered in Scotland, with registration number SC005336.
