Hello all, We are looking for an instructor to come to our office and teach our experienced developers basic to advanced Python. I'm hopeful the SeaPIG can help us find such an instructor. The course topics we would like to cover include:
* Introduction to Python (for experienced developers) * Reading and writing technical data (HDF, NetCDF, MATLAB) * NumPy * SciPy with focus on signal processing * Interfacing with C and Fortran * Data visualizations (matplotlib and beyond) Class size would be up to 8 or 9 folks with smaller groups depending on the topic (some have Python experience and can skip the basics). Looking to do the training before the end of the year, ideally later this summer or fall. Ideally we would like these covered in a week or week and a half with a mix of full days and some half days, but we are flexible. Naturally we are prepared to compensate the instructor(s). After getting quotes from some well known Python training companies and suffering sticker shock ($15K and up!), we are looking for alternatives. Before we commit with any instructor we'll want to see examples of experience, specifically for coding and ideally for instruction. If you are interested in such an opportunity please contact me. If you have any suggestions for how to find such an instructor please pass that along too. About us: We are non-profit seismological data center (funded by the National Science Foundation), our users are academic researchers in the US and around the world. Our office is near the main UW campus in Northeast Seattle. http://www.iris.edu/dms/nodes/dmc/ thanks, Chad IRIS DMC
