Further programming in Python with good practices

Organised by Adam Tyson.

Overview

This one day course will follow on from the introductory course to provide some further Python training, and particularly introduce good practices that will pay dividends as you dive deeper into programming.

For this course you will need a very basic knowledge of Python, and a laptop with conda (miniconda or anaconda) installed. If you need any help prior to the course (e.g. if you have a different Python installation) contact Adam Tyson (adam.tyson01@icr.ac.uk).
