A workshop offered in collaboration with HPC.NRW.

This workshop will cover the very basics of Python, from variable assignment to data types to loops, conditional, and functions. Participants will be guided with the help of live-coded examples and self-paced exercises.

We will cover the following Topics (selection):

  • Variable Assignment & Data Types
  • Importing Libraries
  • Reading and Plotting Tabular Data
  • List / Dictionaries
  • Loops
  • Conditional Statements
