== Grading ==

Grading will be based on your participation in the seminar (and its discussions) and your group project work.
* Participants will do a practical project using Python. Projects can be done in groups of two.

At the end of the course participants must fill out the course evaluation questionnaire in LUIS (this is a formal requirement for all courses).

Seminar: Getting things done with Python

In this seminar you will learn about the Python programming language, its libraries and frameworks.

The goal of the seminar is to give participants an insight into Python programming language and what can be done with it (including how it is used in practice). You will also learn how to use Python for data analysis and visualization.

Course Project

During the course, students are required to complete a project that accomplishes a non-trivial programming / data processing task using Python tools.

More information: Course Project

Why Python?

  • Python is easy to use and effective.
  • Its code is easy to read and write.
  • Python is a flexible language that can support many programming paradigms.
  • Suitable for beginners and professionals alike.
  • Popular and well-supported.
  • Used by large and small companies and organizations worldwide.
  • Used in many courses and workshops.

Contents

The seminar consists of two parts:

  • Introduction to the Python programming language (What is Python)
    • Assumption: participants know the basics of programming and, preferably, already know other programming languages
  • Practical applications of Python, with examples (Getting things done with Python)

Organizers

This seminar is lead by Uldis Bojārs and Valdis Saulespurēns.

Experts who might present guest lectures at the seminar:

  • Leo Seļāvo (LU DF)
  • Jānis Zuters (LU DF, on machine learning)
  • Pēteris Paikens (LU MII)
  • ...
