The eScience Center offers a range of free workshops and training courses, open to all researchers affiliated with Dutch research organizations. We organize workshops covering digital skills needed to put reproducible research into practice. These include online collaboration, reproducible code and good programming practices. We also offer more advanced workshops such as GPU Programming, Parallel Programming and Deep Learning.
This workshop teaches fundamental Python programming skills for research. The target audience are researchers who have little to no prior computational experience. We teach you the basics of Python, focusing on data import, exploratory data analysis, and visualization.
