  • Use variables, expressions and statements with Python

Day 2:

  • Load and use site-installed Python modules
  • Use and install python packages with pip and/or Conda
  • Use virtual environments
  • Ask for compute resources, write batch scripts
  • Do basic analysis with Matplotlib in Jupyter

Day 3-4:

  • Use compute resources and batch jobs, including parallelism, GPUs and big data
  • Use Pandas and Seaborn
  • Use Python for ML
  • Guest lecture by Anders Hast and InfraVis introduction
