Introduction¶
In the first block of this course we will focus on the basics of programming, obviously with a focus on python. However, before we will actually
start exploring this fantastic programming language we will go on side-quest that might seem unrelated and adjacent at best but is indeed very important
for programming and computational work in general. After that we will spend three session on exploring python’s building blocks from variables over common operations to functions.
Schedule¶
Please see below for our current optimistic schedule. Depending on our progress, potential problems and different forms of learning, content and times might change a bit. Each lecture will be divided into several parts separated by a 5-10 minute break and might constitute a transition from basic to advanced concepts, theoretic to practical sessions and individual to group work. The different parts are roughly indicated in the schedule below like this:
🗓 - important information on date & time
💡 - input from the instructor
👨🏻🏫 - instructor presents content
🥼 - research project work
🧑🏽💻🧑🏾💻 - work on demo data
🧑🏿🔬👩🏻🔬 - work on own research project
🖥️ - computational work outside course hours
✍🏽 - writing outside course hours
📖 - reading outside course hours
