About this event

Brought to you by NCI in partnership with Intersect and delivered by Intersect.

Python has deservedly become a popular language for scientific computing. It has all the friendly features and conveniences you’d expect of a modern programming language, and also a rich set of libraries for working with data.

In this workshop, you will explore different types of graphs and learn how to customise them using two of the most popular plotting libraries in Python, matplotlib and seaborn (Data Visualisation).

We teach using Jupyter notebooks, which allow program code, results, visualisations and documentation to be blended seamlessly. Perfect for sharing insights with others while producing reproducible research.

Join us for this live coding workshop where we write programs that produce results, using the researcher-focused training modules from the highly regarded Software Carpentry Foundation.

You'll learn:

Using the Grammar of Graphics to convert data into figures using the seaborn and matplotlib libraries
Configuring plot elements within seaborn and matplotlib
Exploring different types of plots using seaborn

Prerequisites:

Either Learn to Program: Python or Learn to Program: Python and Python for Research needed to attend this course. If you already have experience with programming, please check the topics covered in the Learn to Program: Python and Python for Research courses to ensure that you are familiar with the knowledge needed for this course.

We also strongly recommend attending the Data Manipulation in Python course.

The Intersect approach to training

At Intersect, we deliver hands-on courses that target the day-to-day software and technology problems that researchers face.
