- Basic Track
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 second Workshop you will use functions from the popular functions package ›pandas‹ to work with and manipulate datasets such as an Excel table or a .csv file. You will load large datasets and get to know how to quickly and easily filter and select only parts from this dataset for further analyses or visualisations. You will apply conditional functions such as ›if this condition is fulfilled, do that, if not do something else‹. You will also learn how to create plots with the popular matplotlib package.
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.
