You don’t know Python, but want to? You know a little Python or did it years ago and need a refresher? Then join our HeFDI Code School Basics, a dynamic series of three hands-on online workshops in collaboration with NFDI4Earth. These workshops – all free of charge – will guide you through the basic concepts and functions of Python using Jupyter notebooks, and go all the way up to manipulating data and datasets, making interactive plots and your own webpage where users can interact with your data visualisations.
In this first workshop you will learn how to work with and code in Jupyter notebooks, either in a browser or with its desktop version. You will use and apply your first Python functions, be able to import additional functions, and become able to build your own functions.
The focus of the course is on you coding, so we will alternate between 10-20 minute coding presentations and breakout sessions with lots of exercises, allowing you to understand how Python works through your own practice.
Your Benefits
Hands-On Learning: Each 4-hour workshop blends insightful lectures with engaging group activities and practical coding exercises. Because the best way to learn coding is to write your own!
Flexible Participation: Attend all three workshops for a comprehensive experience, or select the ones that spark your interest most.
Instructor
The instructor is PD Dr. Dominik Hezel, Goethe-University Frankfurt and co-spokesperson of the NFDI4Earth.
Language
Workshops will be held in English.
Prerequisites
We will use an online version for Jupyter Notebooks, hence, a device running a browser is sufficient to participate in the course.
