DESCRIPTION:Registration fee: £500\n\nPlaces: 15 (first come\, first serve
 d)\n\nApplication deadline: 14th June 2019\n\nDESCRIPTION\nPython is a dyn
 amic\, readable language that is a popular platform for all types of bioin
 formatics work\, from simple one-off scripts to large\, complex software p
 rojects. This workshop is aimed at complete beginners and assumes no prior
  programming experience. It gives an overview of the language with an emph
 asis on practical problem-solving\, using examples and exercises drawn fro
 m various aspects of bioinformatics work. The workshop is structured so th
 at the parts of the language most useful for bioinformatics are introduced
  as early as possible\, and that students can start writing plausibly-usef
 ul programs after the first few sessions. After completing the workshop\, 
 students should be in a position to (1) apply the skills they have learned
  to tackling problems in their own research and (2) continue their Python 
 education in a self-directed way.\n\nThe instructor of the workshop is the
  Founder of Python for Biologists\, Dr. Martin Jones.\n\nFormat\nThe works
 hop will take place over 5 days. Each day will consist of 2 half-day sessi
 ons\, each consisting of a ~1 hour lecture followed by 2 hours of practica
 l exercises. It is important that attendees attend each session as they wi
 ll use examples and exercises that build on the materials from previous se
 ssions. For more information and a detailed syllabus please see the follow
 ing link: https://pythonforbiologists.com/introduction-to-python-for-biolo
 gists\n\nWho should attend\nThis workshop is aimed at all researchers and 
 technical workers with a background in biology who want to learn programmi
 ng. The syllabus has been planned with complete beginners in mind.\n\nRequ
 irements\nAttendees will require a level of biological and bioinformatics 
 background so they can appreciate the examples and exercises (i.e. they sh
 ould know what a protein accession number\, BLAST report\, and FASTA seque
 nce is). Attendees will require the ability to us a text editor (e.g. nano
 \, vim\, or gedit). No previous programming knowledge is required. \n\nAtt
 endees will use their own laptops during the workshop. Instructions for an
 y software to be installed will be sent out prior to the course.\n\n If yo
 u are not sure if this course is suitable for you please do not hesitate t
 o contact Dr Martin Jones (martin@pythonforbiologists.com)\n\nPlease fill 
 in the following form (https://forms.gle/mkjiASxS7sKBxeGo7) if you would l
 ike to register for the Introduction to Python for Biologists workshop.\nA
 pplicants will be asked to pay a registration fee of £500. After the appl
 ication deadline (14th of June) or when all places are fill applicants wil
 l be asked to pay for the workshop. Once your fee is paid your place on th
 e course will be confirmed.
