class=166505908-02122014><FONT color=#0000ff size=2 face=Arial>We all seem to
like the idea of bring-a project model? But we can see some
potential issues if projects are overlly complex? I would like to
suggest we create a list of projects then we try and put them in order of
complexity? So we start of with more managable ones. Then perhaps move onto more
complex ones depending on how people felt. We can also try to break anything
complex down into simplier exersises? So we would be doing a sort of
'bring-a-project' but you have to add you project to the
list?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

have run python workshops in the past and would be happy to do so for<BR>this

basic python intro in which I cover very basic language<BR>features, I/O and
simple plotting which should be enough to replace most<BR>excel spreadsheets.
The second course focuses on object oriented<BR>programming which is a lot
more theoretical and covers inheritance,<BR>special methods and writing your
own types to do useful stuff. The first<BR>workshop assumes no prior
knowledge, the second one does assume some<BR>basic familiarity with python
and a general idea what programming is<BR>about (loops, functions, etc). Both
workshops take about half a day<BR>each. As I said, I'd be happy to run the
courses again. The main<BR>question is one of time - I suspect it would have
to be a Saturday<BR>afternoon or maybe on a couple of evenings. I'd also need
some helpers<BR>who would help with the practical
bits.<BR><BR>Cheers<BR>magi<BR><BR>_______________________________________________<BR>Edinburgh
