Have you always wanted to learn program but never had the chance? This workshop series is your opportunity to get acquainted with the basics of Python and learn how it can be used for reproducible research. Sessions will provide guided instruction on key concepts where you can hone your coding skills and receive resources to continue your independent learning. 

This series is held in partnership with UK’s Center for Computational Sciences. Lessons will be hosted via CCS’s high-performance computing cluster, and along the way participants will learn more about CCS’s resources and how to access them.   

In this first workshop, participants will learn the basics of working in Python, including writing code in Jupyter notebooks, variables, expressions, operators, and essential data types. No prior coding experience is necessary.

The Stacks is located on the ground floor of the King Library Annex. The entrance is on the south side of the building. The King Library Building is located in the central campus, south of Patterson Drive and west of Rose Street, between the Lucille Caudill Little Fine Arts Library and Pence Hall.
