Seminar: Getting things done with Python

In this seminar you will learn about the Python programming language, its libraries and frameworks.

The goal of the seminar is to give participants an insight into Python programming language and what can be done with it (including how it is used in practice). You will also learn how to use Python for data analysis and visualization.

Specseminārā tiks iepazīta Python programmēšanas valoda kā arī tās bibliotēkas un ietvari. Semināra mērķis ir dot ieskatu gan valodā, tās iespējās, gan plašajā pielietojumu lokā. Seminārā Python tiks lietots dažādu datu apstrādei un vizualizācijai.

Contents

The seminar consists of two parts:

  • Introduction to the Python programming language (What is Python)
    • Assumption: participants know the basics of programming and, preferably, already know other programming languages
  • Practical applications of Python, with examples (Getting things done with Python)

Organizers

This seminar is lead by Uldis Bojārs and Valdis Saulespurēns.

Experts who might present guest lectures at the seminar:

  • Leo Seļāvo (LU DF)
  • Jānis Zuters (LU DF, par mašīnmācīšanos)
  • Normunds Gruzītis (LU MII, par NLP)
  • Pēteris Paikens (LU MII)
  • ...

Grading

Grading will be based on your participation in the seminar (and its discussions) and your group project work.

 * Participants will do a practical project using Python. Projects can be done in groups of two.

At the end of the course participants must fill out the course evaluation questionnaire in LUIS (this is a formal requirement for all courses).
