Short description
For May of 2025 we recommend the HPC Series: Python on HPC Clusters course, offered by the Jan Steiner and Shayma Wahdan at University of Bonn.
The course will teach you some of the Python-related topics beyond the absolute basics of the language - things you will likely run into as a scientist using Python.
The course is spread over two half-days. It will be held as a hybrid course - both online via Zoom and in person at HRZ (Wegelerstr. 6), room 0.012. The course language is English
See the event page for further info.
