SciNet External Courses

Project Jupyter is a non-profit, open-source project that supports interactive data science and scientific computing across programming languages. This session will provide a basic overview of Jupyter, the use of Jupyter Notebooks and Labs to create interactive computing environments and introduce the resources available through SciNet to support JupyterHub notebook sessions. The session will explore the use of Jupyter from the perspective of different use cases.

This event was organized by the Centre for Research Innovation and Support (CRIS) at the University of Toronto.

This workshop is part of the 2020 UofT's Toronto Biomedical Conference (ToBE) This workshop will provide an introduction to some of the basics elements and concepts in data and scientific visualization using several Python's packages, i.e. matplotlib, plotly. The workshop will cover basics of plotting: 1D, 2D and 3D plotting, professional plotting, animations and movie generation. We will use Python 3, and attendees are expected to be familiar with the Python programming language but extensive programming experience is not required - we will mainly be calling functions in existing packages, not writing large amounts of code.

The Institute for Data Intensive Engineering and Sciences will jointly host a Visualization Hackathon with the University of Toronto. The Hackathon will be on Friday & Saturday, January 25 & 26, 2019 from 9 AM 5 PM (approx), with sessions and presentations at both Homewood Campus at JHU, and SciNet headquarters at the University of Toronto. We will focus on topics and techniques relevant to data-intensive and computationally-intensive research. This event will feature some presentations on techniques and tools, but will be primarily hands on and participant driven. http://idies.jhu.edu/idies-to-co-host-visualization-hackathon-with-university-of-toronto/ http://idies.jhu.edu/news-events/visualization-hackathon/ Registration: http://idies.jhu.edu/news-events/visualization-hackathon/#registration-form
