Adjuntamos información sobre un curso práctico de programación
utilizando el lenguaje Python y que está indicado para investigadores en
arqueología. Quedan unas pocas plazas que se abren para inscripción
gratuita de estudiantes e investigadores ajenos al proyecto SimulPast www.simulpast.es hasta el 12 de julio.
This two-day free course is suitable for beginners and especially designed for archaeologists and social scientists.
course: Learning to programme with python
tutor: Xavier Rubio Campillo
date: 15th-16th July 2013
venue: IMF-CSIC, c/ Egipcíaques 15, 08001 Barcelona
To register please reply by 12th July to simulpast@gmail.com with "python tutorial" as the Subject of your message.
Important: Please find attached an updated, detailed schedule containing the technical instructions for the course.
This
tutorial will explain the basic theoretical concepts underlying
programming, and its potential uses for archaeological researchers. It
will mainly be a practical course using the Python programming language.
The dynamic of every session will be a mix of minimum theoretical
background and different incremental examples covering the explained
topics. In addition there will be several milestones where a small
exercise will be performed in order to improve the understanding of the
code. All the examples and exercises will be related to daily problems
that an archaeologist can face (e.g. reading and writing text files,
data processing, analysis and simulation, etc.). We remind all
participants that they will need to bring their own laptops with the
necessary software already installed.
The
course is part of the transdisciplinary activities in the SimulPast
project (CSD2010-00034), funded by the Spanish government.
