I have taught this course multiple times at the UCSC Extension and also conducted corporate trainings. *Due to the 'shelter at home' policy, the class will be held online via Zoom.* The course title is "Python for programmers". The class will be held every Wednesday from 6:30 - 9:30 pm starting from April 15, 2020 to June 17, 2020 . The course will cover the most important aspects of Python and will be very hands-on with in-class activity and homework. I will also provide Jupyter notebook that will contain many examples. To register for the course, visit *https://course.ucsc-extension.edu/modules/shop/index.html?action=section&OfferingID=5591127&SectionID=6841821 *and select section CMPR.X416.(36). UCSC Extension Silicon Valley is accredited by various bodies through the University of California, Santa Cruz. Hence, many employers will reimburse the cost of the course. You can email me at chityala at gmail.com if you have any questions.

We meet 10 Tuesday evenings 6:30 - 9:30 PST, Apr 14 - Jun 16, 2020. With the miracle tools: Python, Pandas, and Jupyter notebooks, we go from zero to analyzing data in this short class. It is helpful, but not required to know a programming language, and a little about statistics. https://course.ucsc-extension.edu/modules/shop/index.html?action=section&OfferingID=6240437&SectionID=6844221 --- You can start the online version of "Python For Programmers" course now, although the official start isn't until May 12. You have access to videos and other online materials, and the instructor until July 7. https://course.ucsc-extension.edu/modules/shop/index.html?action=section&OfferingID=5591127&SectionID=6848235 For this course, it is best to have some programming experience in any language. However, online we have a lot of time to work through the material, so we can be patient with people who are not so experienced. I have a reputation for answering all questions quickly and patiently because I like to help. All courses are hands-on with short lectures, and lots of relevant exercises, and, we study the solutions after some lab time. Questions are always welcome. Please come, and send students!

This course will be held live, online, using Zoom meetings. The focus of the course is on gaining a solid understanding of object-oriented programming (OOP). The approach is to use simple computer games, which we will build in Pygame. I will explain how graphical user interface (GUI) elements such as buttons, text input/output boxes, radio buttons, etc. are built using OOP, and how they work in an "event-driven" program. We'll go into detail about the three main tenets of OOP: encapsulation, polymorphism, and inheritance. While my approach is to use games, the techniques being taught are applicable to a wide range of software fields. This is an intermediate-level course that is designed for people who have a basic understanding of the Python language, and want to go on to the next level of programming. It assumes that you have taken an introductory course at UCSC-Extension or elsewhere (or have learned Python on your own), and can write small to medium sized programs in Python. The course is very hands-on, with lots of sample programs. Starts Monday April 13, and will meet on eight Monday nights from 6:30 to 9:30 (No meeting 5/25). Sign ups are open to the general public and there is still time to register. The course fee is $750. UCSC-Extension Silicon Valley is accredited by various bodies through the University of California, Santa Cruz, and many employers will reimburse the cost of the course. More details and sign ups are available at: https://www.ucsc-extension.edu/courses/python-object-oriented-programming/ If you have any questions, free to contact me directly at I Kalb at ucsc.edu Feel free to forward this listing on to anyone that you think might be interested.

We will have lightning talks from BayPiggies members about the side projects you are working on during the ?shelter in-place.? We will then have a talk from Jeff Fischer on ?Data Workspaces: Python-based Management of your (Data) Science Projects?. Lightning Talks With all this extra indoors time due to ?shelter-in-place? and a longer than usual rainy season, do you have a technical side project that you?ve been working on? Or, have you been mentoring the junior engineers in your house (aka, the kids)? Tell BayPiggies about your project! We?d love to have you talk about it for a few minutes. No need to have code ready. Just send a single slide (pdf, Google presentation, or PowerPoint) to the organizers and you?ll be signed up. Main Talk: Data Workspaces: Python-based Management of your (Data) Science Projects Abstract Modern scientific workflows can be very complex, involving many data sources, software components, and partial results. At the same time, many scientific workflows are not automated and incur significant manual effort or depend on brittle, one-time, scripts. As a result, scientists and data professionals have issues with managing experiments, collaboration, and reproducibility. Data Workspaces (DWS) is a Python-based open source framework for managing scientific data and automating experiment workflows. Data Workspaces maintains the state of a science project, including data sets, intermediate data, results, and software. It supports reproducibility through snapshotting and lineage tracking and collaboration through a push/pull model layered on top of the Git version control system. Speaker Bio Jeff Fischer is CTO of Benedat LLC, a Data Science company in Silicon Valley focused on data intensive systems, from infrastructure to machine learning. He advises data engineering and data science teams on architecture and technology selection. Jeff has a PhD in Computer Science from UCLA and is a co-organizer of the Bay Area Python Interest Group.
