HeFDI Code School Basic Track 

You don’t know Python, but want to? You know a little Python or did it years ago and need a refresher? Then join our HeFDI Code School Basics, a dynamic series of three hands-on online workshops in collaboration with NFDI4Earth. These workshops – all free of charge – will guide you through the basic concepts and functions of Python using Jupyter notebooks, and go all the way up to manipulating data and datasets, making interactive plots and your own webpage where users can interact with your data visualisations.

The focus of the course is on you coding, so we will alternate between 20-30 minute coding presentations and breakout sessions with lots of exercises, allowing you to understand how Python works through your own practice.

The instructor is PD Dr. Dominik Hezel, Goethe-University Frankfurt and member of NFDI4Earth.

Workshops will be held in English.

About this workshop

In the first workshop of the HeFDI Code School Basic Track, you will learn how to work with and code in Jupyter notebooks, either in a browser or with its desktop version. You will use and apply your first Python functions, be able to import additional functions, and become able to build your own functions.

• Hands-On Learning: Each 4-hour workshop blends insightful lectures with engaging group activities and practical coding exercises. Because the best way to learn coding is to write your own!
• Flexible Participation: Attend all three workshops for a comprehensive experience, or select the ones that spark your interest most.
