Planning Page for the 2010 Python Boot Camp

Proposed Dates: Some time during the week of January 11th

Tentative Outline

The boot camp is going to be divided into three segments:

  1. Python Installation/Basics
  2. Python for Scientific Computing
  3. Advanced Python and breakout sessions

I've shown a proposed three day outline. At this point we are working on reserving the room for the entire week, so we can extend it to 4 days if people want to. Each day is broken into two two hour sessions. Each session has a thirty minute break in the middle (after one hour). We are also planning for a one hour break between sessions so that people can get lunch.

Duration Day 1 - Python Basics Day 2 - Scientific Python Day 3 - Advanced Python
Session 1a 1 hr Installation (Matt M) Numpy/Lin Alg/DFT (Jim) Working with Python (IDE/Editors, Workflow...) (Everyone)
Break 0.5 hr
Session 1b 1 hr Basic Data Structures (Milad) Plotting/Matplotlib (Matt T) Breakout sessions 1
Lunch 1 hr
Session 2a 1 hr Functions (Milad) SciPy (Anthony) Breakout sessions 2
Break 0.5 hr
Session 2b 1 hr Classes, Modules (Matt T) Other/Statistics (Nico?) Breakout sessions 3

Each break session will involve three presentations/discussions/activities. Potential topics include:

  • google Apps/Trac -> Paul? Milad
  • Django -> Nico?
  • GIS -> Nico
  • Pytables / HDF5 -> Milad
  • Making GUIs with WxPython -> Milad
  • Regular Expressions ->
  • Fun -> Jim, Katy
  • PyTAPS, C/Python -> Jim
  • Python Ecosystem Thunderstorm! (Lightning Talks)
