If you made a new year resolution to learn Python, then you are in luck. Two identical Python courses are being offered at the UCSC Extension in Santa Clara during the Winter 2018 term. Both the courses will cover the most important aspects of Python such as functions, object oriented programming, decorators, generators etc. and will be very hands-on with in-class activities and homework. We will also provide Jupyter notebook that will contain many examples. You can choose to take one of the course according to your schedule. The content and material used in the course are identical. The first course starts on Jan 10th 2018 and ends on March 14th 2018 and will be held every Wednesday from 6:30pm-9:30 pm. The second course starts on Jan 22nd 2018 and ends on April 2nd 2018 and will be held every Monday from 6:30pm-9:30 pm. To register for either section visit *http://course.ucsc-extension.edu/modules/shop/index.html?action=section&OfferingID=5591127&SectionID=5835671 *and by selecting either the tab CMPR.X416.(6) or CMPR.X416.(7). UCSC Extension is accredited by various bodies through the University of California, Santa Cruz. Hence, many employers will reimburse the cost of the course. Join now to become a Pythonista and program in one of the fastest growing language. You can email me at chityala at gmail.com if you have any questions. Thanks, Regards, Ravi Chityala -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Speakers: - Ronald Lopez - Introduction to Pandas - Marilenis Olivera Lee - 10 tips and tricks to getting started in Python If you are relatively new to Python, this is a great chance to build up your skills in 2018! Note that, since the holidays are over, we are back to the 4th Thursday of the month. The meeting is a week from this Thursday. *Talk Details* *1. Introduction to Pandas* One of the most frequently asked and difficult questions to answer in higher education is: Where do our students go after? Luckily the National Student Clearinghouse provides a transactional enrollment file. I will go over how to use built-in Pandas functions to clean and reduce the file to make it workable. A repository containing sample code for the talk is available at https://github.com/Rlopezra/NSC-Student-Tracker-Reduction-Script. *About Ronald:* Ronald is a Senior Research Analyst for the San Jose-Evergreen Community College District. He graduated from University of California, Irvine with a Bachelor?s in Anthropology and Economics and a Master?s in Demography. Outside of work, he pursues topics of interests and hobbies such as Python programming, inferential statistics, and Salsa dancing. This fall, he will begin coursework towards his second master?s degree in statistics. *2. 10 tips and tricks to getting started in Python* In this talk I will cover some of the aspects of Python that have made it a popular language for teaching beginners. I?ll also discuss a few things that are confusing for beginners and can make them scream out of frustration. If you have been thinking about learning Python, now is the time. I promise it will be fun! *About Marilenis:* A Computer Science Engineer turned Technical Instructor who wants to change the world one student at a time. Has trained a considerable amount of aspiring software engineers as well as experienced industry leaders who are currently unemployed. Loves mentoring people and talking at meetups. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Once it matured to a proprietary PCBA we switched to Atmel Studio 7. We are not using Python nor want to change from the current C++ structure. I know this is a Python forum but thought I would reach out to see if someone who knew both would be interested.
