Introduction to Python Programming 2023
C2SM is organising this workshop, given by the Scientific IT Services (SIS) of ETH Zürich. This course introduces the Python programming language to students and researchers already having basic programming skills in another programming language.
This course will be held on four half days in January from 9 AM to 2 PM
Dates: January 18 & 19, and January 25 & 26
Venue: OCT E 34/36 (Binzmühlestrasse 130, 8092 Zürich)
Application for waiting list.
Target groups
PhD students, post-docs and staff from C2SM-associated research groups.
This course is suited for you if:
- you did some programming in the past (maybe R, Matlab, C, Java, ...)
- you are familiar with concepts such as "function", "if then else", "while" and "for"

Note: The course will be too fast if you never programmed before.
