Re: Upcoming Python Workshops - Python for Data Analytics, Advanced Python, PyCon Ireland

[Vicky Twomey-Lee - Python Ireland]

Hi All,

Just to remind you all about the two upcoming workshops. 

Yves will be running a 1-day intensive workshop next Wed Sept 10th and he will drop over to our meetup afterwards.

• Python for Data Analytics Workshop (Dublin) by Dr. Yves J. Hilpisch
• Cost: EUR275, Registration required: http://www.meetup.com/Python-for-Quant-Finance-London/events/202981002/

Mike will be running a 2-day advanced workshop on the lead up to PyCon Ireland on Thu 10th - Fri 11th Oct.

• Advanced Python Workshop by Mike Müller / Python Academy
• Cost: EUR715, Registration required: http://www.python-academy.com/courses/python_advanced_pyconie.html

And you can meet both trainers at PyCon Ireland as well. :-D

So please pass word around to other Pythonistas, Data, Quants, etc.

If you are a student, and are interested in the workshop, I can put you in contact with the trainer to see if there's a student discount. Just ping me at why...@python.ie.

Thanks in advance,

Details about the paid workshops

Python for Data Analytics Workshop (Dublin) by Dr. Yves J. Hilpisch

• When: Wed, Sept 10, 2014 (09:30 - 16:30)
• Where: TBA
• Price: EUR275.00 (Tickets)
• Level: Intermediate-Advanced

For the first time, there will be a Python for Data Analytics Workshop in Dublin Ireland.

The One-Day intensive workshop mainly focuses on the following topics:

• Basics of Python and IPython

• First steps with the pandas data analytics library

• Plotting with pandas (eg plot types, customization) 

• Advanced pandas topics (eg vectorization, performance) 

• Hardware bound IO operations

The workshop is for those already working with Python and planning to do more data analytics with it as well as for those who have experience in other technology fields and want to make use of Python's strong data analytics capabilities.

The workshop is mainly based on IPython notebooks with selected smaller exercises and somewhat more complex case studies.

Throughout the workshop we use our Python Quant Platform, a Web- and browser-based data analytics and collaboration platform. You only need to bring your notebook connect to the Wifi and get immediately started.

Advanced Python Workshop by Mike Müller / Python Academy

• When: Thu/Fri, 9th/10th October
  
• Where: Camden Court Hotel, Dublin
• Price: 715.00 (Tickets)
• Level: Intermediate

Python offers several advanced concepts. It is possible to write useful Python programs without them. But if you want to really understand how Python works and how to write really pythonic programs, you should know about these topics:

• Comprehensions
• Iterators and generators
• Context manager
• Decorators
• Descriptors
• Metaclasses
• Conventions and good style a.k.a. pythonic programming

The workshop covers them in detail using code examples that will be immediately useful for your daily work. Carefully crafted exercises help you to experience the learnt material. You will get detailed solutions for all exercises after the training.

The workshop content and teaching concept is based on numerous advanced Python classes taught by Mike Müller including in-house courses and the successful courses at EuroPython 2012 and 2013, PyConPL 2012, PyCon DE 2013, PyCon IE 2013, and PyCon in Montrèal 2014.

Mike taught about 180 Python classes with well over 400 training days.
