 CHER\, the UK's new national supercomputing service\, offers training in s
 oftware development and high-performance computing to scientists and resea
 rchers across the UK. As part of our training service we are running a 3 d
 ay Software Carpentry boot camp and Introduction to Scientific Programming
  in Python.\nSoftware Carpentry boot camps help researchers become more pr
 oductive by teaching software development skills that enable more to be do
 ne\, in less time\, and with less pain. We will cover skills including ver
 sion control\, task automation\, good programming practice and automated t
 esting. These are skills that\, in an ideal world\, researchers would mast
 er before tacking anything with "cloud" or "peta" or "HPC" in their name\,
  skills that enable researchers to optimise their time and provide them wi
 th a secure basis to optimise and parallelise their code.\nOur Introductio
 n to Scientific Programming in Python\, will provide an introduction to Py
 thon on ARCHER. We will introduce Python's capabilities for scientific com
 puting\, in particular the Cython\, mpi4py\, NumPy\, SciPy and matplotlib 
 Python libraries. We will also introduce how to interface Python with C an
 d Fortran codes.\nTo attend\, you must have some experience of writing cod
 e or scripts and be familiar with programming concepts including condition
 als\, loops\, arrays and functions. You should also be comfortable with us
 ing the bash shell. For an introduction to the shell\, please see\, for ex
 ample Software Carpentry's lessons on Unix Shell: http://software-carpentr
 y.org/v5/novice/shell/\nThe course will be hands-on\, and you are encourag
 ed to bring your own laptop (you'll be asked to install some software befo
 re you arrive). Alternatively\, PCs will provided for use.\n\nhttps://even
