ASPP2024: 16ᵗʰ Advanced Scientific Programming in Python Summer School
==
https://aspp.school
Scientists spend more and more time writing, maintaining, and debugging
software. While techniques for doing this efficiently have evolved, only few
scientists have been trained to use them. As a result, instead of doing their
research, they spend far too much time writing deficient code and reinventing
the wheel. In this course we will present a selection of advanced programming
techniques and best practices which are standard in the industry, but
especially tailored to the needs of a programming scientist. Lectures are
interactive and allow students to acquire direct hands-on experience with the
topics. Students will work in pairs throughout the school and will team up to
practice the newly learned skills in a real programming project — an
entertaining computer game.
We use the Python programming language for the entire course. Python works as a
simple programming language for beginners, but more importantly, it also works
great in scientific simulations and data analysis. Python is the standard tool
for the programming scientist due to clean language design, ease of
extensibility, and the great wealth of open source libraries for scientific
computing and data visualization.
This school is targeted at PhD students, postdocs and more senior researchers
from all areas of science. Competence in Python or in another language such as
Java, JavaScript, C/C++, MATLAB, or R is absolutely required. Basic knowledge
of Python and git or another version control system is assumed. Participants
without any prior experience with Python or git should work through the
proposed introductory material before the course.
We care for diversity and inclusion, and strive for a welcoming atmosphere to
programming scientists of all levels. In particular, we have focused on
recruiting an international and gender-balanced pool of students.
