ASPP2022: 14ᵗʰ Advanced Scientific Programming in Python
========================================================
a Summer School by the ASPP faculty and the Faculty of Engineering of
the Mondragon University, Bilbao
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 devised to be interactive and to
give the students enough time to acquire direct hands-on experience with
the materials. 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. We show how clean language design, ease of extensibility, and
the great wealth of open source libraries for scientific computing and
data visualization are driving Python to become a standard tool for the
programming scientist.
This school is targeted at Master or PhD students and Post-docs from all
areas of science. Competence in Python or in another language such as
Java, C/C++, MATLAB, or R is absolutely required. Basic knowledge of
Python and of a version control system such as git, subversion,
mercurial, or bazaar is assumed. Participants without any prior
experience with Python and/or git should work through the proposed
introductory material before the course.
We are striving hard to get a pool of students which is international
and gender-balanced.
Date & Location
===============
5–11 September, 2022. Bilbao, Spain.
Application
===========
You can apply online: https://aspp.school
Application deadline: 23:59 UTC, Sunday 1 May, 2022.
There will be no deadline extension, so be sure to apply on time. Be
sure to read the FAQ before applying: https://aspp.school/wiki/faq
Participation is for free, i.e. no fee is charged! Participants however
should take care of travel, living, and accommodation expenses by
themselves. We are in the process of securing some funds for supporting
students with accommodation and living costs.
