Introduction to Python & Object Oriented Programming in Python

New Zealand eScience Infrastructure(NeSI) designs, builds, and operates a shared national platform of advanced computing resources and data services. All researchers in Aotearoa New Zealand have access to NeSI’s platforms. Through NeSI, researchers can access high-capacity CPUs, GPUs and high memory nodes; tailored software environments; expertise in research software and data science engineering; and skills training in computational  tools and approaches. NeSI enables researchers to investigate large, unique, or complex projects more easily, quickly, and accurately.  To learn more, get in touch: info@nesi.org.nz.

New Zealand eScience Infrastructure (NeSI)

A two-day series of workshops designed for researchers looking to enhance their Python skills.

<h3>Day 1 : Introduction to Python</h3> The online workshop will run from 10:00am to 1:00PM on 06 August, 2024.Python is a versatile programming language capable of handling a variety of tasks. It is commonly used by the research community for pre-/post-processing simulation results, visualising results, data science &amp; machine learning and task automation.This is a three hour, virtual Introduction to Python workshop will teach hands-on programming skills to researchers who want to leverage some of the vast number of existing open-source Python packages. The emphasis will be on understanding basic Python programming syntax, writing simple code and being able to navigate third party package documentation.The workshop content includes:<ul><li>Python fundamentals, including the concept of variables, strings, arrays and dictionaries</li><li>Reading, summarising and plotting tabular data</li><li>Repeating Actions with Loops</li><li>Creating Functions</li></ul>The workshop will not address:<ul><li>Debugging Python code</li><li>Programming for performance</li></ul> <h3>Pre-Requisites</h3>This workshop will be held online on NeSI's Open on Demand training environment and there are no prerequisites to attend. <h3>Day 2: Object Oriented Programming in Python</h3>The online workshop will run from 10:00am to 1:00PM on 07 March, 2024.Object-oriented programming (OOP) organises code into objects, which have properties and behaviour. The purpose of OOP is to provide a framework for building complex software while simplifying code development and use. While this workshop will be using Python, object oriented concepts can be applied to other programming languages (C++, Java and Fortran).The workshop content will cover:<ul><li>When to use object-oriented programming and when to avoid it</li></ul>• Understanding object-oriented concepts (class, member, method) that are fundamental to many Python packages• Writing a class as a blueprint for creating an object• Applying class inheritance to promote code reuse and knowing when it is appropriateThe workshop will not address some advanced OOP topics, such as:<ul><li>Multiple inheritance</li><li>Abstract interfaces</li><li>Design patterns</li></ul> <h3>Pre-Requisites</h3>This workshop will be held online and attendees are expected to have a basic knowledge of Python. Specifically know how to define variables, functions, lists, tuples and workflow patterns. If you are interested, you are recommended to attend Introduction to Python on Day 1. <h3>More Information</h3>Registration Deadline: Thursday, 1 August, 5:00 PM NZTYou have the option to register for one or both days of the workshops.Both workshops are open to New Zealand based researchers. If you are in New Zealand and interested but are not affiliated to a public university, CRI or government research institute, please reach out to us before registering.Zoom details will be sent through after registrations close.If you have any questions or would like more information about these sessions, please email support@nesi.org.nz
