Welcome to the OCPhelp wiki for the morning novice/beginner study group.

UPDATE - May 24, 2018

The morning group has now completed the two months and everyone has 'graduated' to the afternoon Advanced group. Congrats to all. The 'byrd' linux box will soon revert to a number-crunching machine, but feel free to continue to use the notebooks and wiki entries in this GitHub repository.


Note: you will initially need an account on the machine 'byrd' in order to follow along with us, see Naomi. If you already have access to Jupyter Lab or Jupyter Notebooks then you should be able to join our project next month after making sure you understand the basic material in Ryan's notebooks.


Our python study group will meet for the first four weeks with the following goals.

  • We will be working through these wiki pages, learning how to use conda in a unix environment to set up a basic scientific computing environment, work through Ryan's notebooks in our newly created JupyterLab in-browser IDE (integrated/interactive development environment), learning to document, protect and collaborate with tools such as git and GitHub. We will each choose a project on which to practice and expand this study.
  • After you are comfortable with these techniques on byrd, you will be expected to configure your own machine or use JupiterLab in the cloud to continue with your projects.
