Plotting and programming with Python (QCIF) [webinar]

This is a QCIF course and places are highly limited as Graduate School is paying the fee. If you are unable to attend, please de-register (or email graduateschool@uq.edu.au if you are unable to do so). An unexplained absence could result in all your future QCIF registrations becoming Waitlisted. You may only attend the workshop once. Repeat bookings will be removed and placed on the Waitlist.

Participants will learn about basic programming concepts including simple and complex data types, conditionals and looping that are applicable to Python and other languages. This workshop will prepare participants to carry out batch analysis and equip them with the knowledge to start creating automated pipelines to increase data processing power and productivity.

Learning Objectives

• Use Python to read and write data from and to files
• Perform simple scripting operations using loops and conditionals to carry out batch analyses
• Generate data plots with Python

Please do not sign up for this workshop if you are unwilling or unable to attend all four sessions in full. 

Pre-workshop preparation

Participants will need to have a laptop with internet access, and come with Anaconda and Python 3 pre-installed. You should ensure that you have sufficient internet connectivity.
