DESCRIPTION:Python is a dynamic\, readable language that is a popular platf
 orm for all types of bioinformatics work\, from simple one-off scripts to 
 large\, complex software projects. This workshop is aimed at people who al
 ready have a basic knowledge of Python and are interested in using the lan
 guage to tackle larger problems. In it\, we will look in detail at the par
 ts of the language which are particularly useful in scientific programming
 \, and at the tools Python offers for making development faster and easier
 . The workshop will use examples and exercises drawn from various aspects 
 of bioinformatics work.\n\nAfter completing the workshop\, students should
  be in a position to\;\n\n(1) take advantage of the advanced language feat
 ures in their own programs\, and\;\n\n(2) use appropriate tools when devel
 oping software programs.\n\n\nThis event will be delivered virtually\, in 
 the following format:\n\nThe programme will be delivered over ten days\, f
 rom Monday 5 - Friday 16 October 2020\, weekdays only.\nOn each day there 
 will be 3.5 hours of live input (via Zoom) from the trainer (9:00-12:30 UK

 estions.\nLectures/input will be recorded and made available to participan
 ts as soon as possible that day for anyone who needs to catch up.
