This lesson teaches novice programmers to write modular code to perform data analysis using Python.

Research Software Camp: FAIR Software

Access all of the SSI Research Software Camp (RSC): FAIR Software free events in this collection. The RSC takes place from 19 to 30 June 2023.

Following the Software Carpentry curriculum, this lesson teaches novice programmers to write modular code to perform data analysis using Python. The emphasis, however, is on teaching language-agnostic principles of programming such as automation with loops and encapsulation with functions.P﻿lease note this lesson runs on Tuesday 20th June, 10-15 BST, and Wednesday 21st June, 10-15 BST.Prerequisites for participants (skills, knowledge, software)<ul><li>Participants must bring a laptop with a Mac, Linux, or Windows operating system (not a tablet, Chromebook, etc.) that they have administrative privileges on.</li></ul><ul><li> Learners need to understand what files and directories are, what a working directory is, and how to start a Python interpreter.</li></ul><ul><li>Learners must install Python 3 before the class starts.</li></ul><ul><li>Learners must get the gapminder data(http://swcarpentry.github.io/python-novice-gapminder/files/python-novice-gapminder-data.zip) before class starts: please download and unzip the file python-novice-gapminder-data.zip.</li></ul><ul><li>Please see http://swcarpentry.github.io/python-novice-gapminder/index.html#setup</li></ul>Instructor: Dr Danai Korre, Research Associate in Augmented Reality, School of Engineering, University of Edinburgh.
