From: NYLUG Announcements <[email protected]> To: NYLUG Announcements <[email protected]> Date: Tue, 4 Sep 2012 16:12:40 -0400 (EDT) Subject: [nylug-announce] NYLUG Presents: 9/13 @ 6:30PM Hannah Aizenman on Intro on Using Python for Big Data Reply-To: Announcements from NYLUG <[email protected]> Thursday, September 13, 2012 6:30 PM - 8:00 PM Chelsea Market Office 75 Ninth Ave, 2nd Floor NY, NY 10011 *** RSVP Closes at 12:00 PM the day of the meeting (sharp!) *** Please RSVP for EVERY meeting at this time. Register at http://rsvp.nylug.org/ or http://www.meetup.com/nylug-meetings/ Hannah Aizenman - on - Intro on Using Python for Big Data An overview of the Python scientific computing stack, with a focus on working with very large datasets. I'll try to introduce the most widely used libraries for scientific computing, Numpy and Scipy, discuss techniques for using them with big data, and touch on some of the machine learning techniques (and possibly libraries) for reducing large data into something manageable. Then I'll go over how to make some of the most common data visualization tasks (plotting a time-series or mapped data using matplotlib) dynamic and web-based. More Information: * SciPy http://www.scipy.org/ * matplotlib http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/ About Hannah Aizenman: Hannah Aizenman is working on a PhD in Computer Science at The Graduate Center, CUNY. Her research is in using machine learning to make sense of and visualize large, mostly climate, datasets, and she's spent the past two summers writing related web apps. Hannah's also a sometime NYLUG workshop/hacking society coordinator. Meeting Location: Please note that this meeting will be held at Google Chelsea Market Office at 75 Ninth Ave, 2nd Floor, NY, NY 10011. You must RSVP for this meeting at http://rsvp.nylug.org or http://www.meetup.com/nylug-meetings Map: http://g.co/maps/ngctb Swag (Give Away): During/after the meeting... unusually terrific swag may be given away. Stammtisch: After the meeting ... You may wish to join up with other NYLUGgers for drinks and pub food. This month we are trying McKennas Pub at 250 West 14th Street. http://g.co/maps/ghbkk Coding Workshops/Hacking Society: This is a group of people that wants to learn about and work on coding in Python, Smalltalk, Ruby, C++, LaTeX, and other languages, and hack on code. There will also be help given for those who wish to install Linux for the first time. Hardware hacking projects are also welcome, and we can also teach people the basics of hacking with Arduino and other open source hardware. Sometimes they go out to eat afterward. Bring something to show off and discuss! The workshops meet every other Tuesday, at the NY Public Library, Hudson Park Branch. 66 Leroy St. NY NY from 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM Next meetings are September 11, and September 25.
