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 third and final workshop in the series, participants will build on their skills for working with tabular data with pandas by learning how to perform common data cleaning tasks, such as dropping, creating, and transforming columns, manipulating date-time data, and filtering a dataset—all in a reproducible manner that can be repeated infinitely with just the press of a button. Basic familiarity with Python (such as completion of Reproducible Research with Python 1 and 2 workshops) is recommended.

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.
