+ | Scientists spend more and more time writing, maintaining, | ||
+ | only a few scientists have been trained to use them. As a result, instead of doing their research, they spend far too much time writing deficient code and | ||
+ | reinventing the wheel. In this school, we will present a selection of advanced programming techniques and best practices that are standard in the industry | ||
+ | but specially tailored to the needs of a programming scientist. Lectures are devised to be interactive and to give the students enough time to acquire | ||
+ | direct hands-on experience with the materials. Students will work in pairs throughout the school and will team up to practice the newly learned skills in a | ||
+ | real programming project — an entertaining computer game. | ||
+ | |||
+ | We use the Python programming language for the entire course. Python works as a simple programming language for beginners, but more | ||
+ | importantly, | ||
+ | great wealth of open source libraries for scientific computing and data visualization are driving Python to become a standard tool for the | ||
+ | programming scientist. | ||
+ | |||
+ | This school is targeted at Master or Ph.D. students and Post-docs from all areas of science. Competence in Python or in another language such as Java, | ||
+ | C/C++, MATLAB, or R is **absolutely required**. Basic knowledge of Python and of a version control system such as git, subversion, mercurial, | ||
+ | or bazaar is assumed. Participants without any prior experience with Python and/or git should work through the proposed | ||
+ | [[introductory_material|introductory material]] **before** the course. | ||
+ | |||
+ | We are striving hard to get a pool of students which is international and gender-balanced: | ||
