Our workshops¶
3 days Introduction to Python
Python has become very widespread and one of the reasons is probably that it runs on many different platforms, from IoT devices to common operating systems and supercomputers. It can be used to develop applications and libraries. There are already countless software libraries that make your work easier.
After the seminar you will not only have a basic overview of the language constructs and object-orientation in Python, you will also be able to write productive and maintainable code quickly. This can either be your own applications or libraries.
You have little or no experience with the Python programming language. However, some experience with another object-orientated programming language is a plus.

The Python programming language is easy to learn and makes it possible to solve problems quickly. But it also offers advanced solutions that can make creating an app or a software library much easier.
After the seminar you will be able to use Python more efficiently. You will be able to write decorators and lambda functions as well as your own data classes. Finally, you will be able to create suitable project templates for applications and libraries.
You should already know the basic language constructs of Python and now want to take the next steps to be able to use Python more efficiently.

2 days Design patterns in Python
Design patterns are proven solution templates for recurring problems in software architecture and development. There are Python-specific design patterns such as global object, prebound method and sentinel object patterns. These design patterns differ significantly from the classic design patterns. Finally, the SOLID principles will help you to better maintain and extend your software in the future.
You will be able to structure your Python projects in such a way that they correspond to known design patterns and are easier to maintain. It will also be easier to develop them further in the future.
The seminar is aimed at those who want to learn how to structure their Python projects so that they remain maintainable and developable in the future.

1 day Software documentation with Sphinx
In order for your software package to be useful, documentation is required that describes how your software can be installed, operated, used and improved. For extensive documentation you can use Sphinx, a documentation tool that converts reStructuredText into HTML or PDF, EPub and man pages.
You will be able to document your project with Sphinx, whereby code blocks, placeholders, UI elements and interactions are specifically labelled and tables of contents and glossaries are automatically created. Sphinx can also automatically read Python docstrings and create reference documentation from them. Finally, Sphinx can also be extended extensively, so that no wishes should remain unfulfilled.
You work as a technical writer or develop software that needs to be documented quickly and easily.

There are many different Python libraries that make it much easier to clean and validate data. We will use these libraries in practical examples to recognise and clean up problems in the data.
You will be able to check whether data is missing or contains outliers. You will also be able to check the similarity of texts and, more generally, find duplicates in your data. You can find a schema in your data and check future data against this schema. You can also check whether your data matches certain hypotheses. You can transform your data to make it more suitable for certain simulations. Finally, you will also be able to map satellite data to geo-locations.
Anyone who wants to cleanse or validate their data.
