Tutorial Participant Instructions
Monday July 10, 2017 8:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Software Carpentry Scientific Python Course Part 1 (Beginner)
Room 105
Maxim Belkin, Software Carpentry
Software Carpentry tutorial is an introduction to Python. As such, you are not required to know anything about it (though it will not hurt if you do). However, to follow the instructions presented in the session and because learning happens when you try things out for yourself, we encourage you to install Python (ver. 3), and a few of its packages on your laptop computer before the tutorial. There are many ways in which you can obtain and install Python. However, the most reliable and convenient way is to install a "distribution," which is a "plain vanilla" Python plus some extra packages that extend its capabilities. To find a list of popular distributions, navigate to: https://scipy.org/install.html.
Software Carpentry workshop participants frequently find it convenient to use Anaconda distribution that supports Windows, Linux, and macOS. For instructions specific to your operating system, please go to https://maxim-belkin.github.io/2017-07-10-scipy/ and scroll down to the "Setup" section.
