A workshop for scientific computing in Python
- dplarson 9y agoThe topics covered are fairly broad and overall it seems like a nice collection of notebooks for teaching. Also, I agree with the choice to use Anaconda to install the dependencies. In my experience teaching similar type workshops (to engineering undergrad and grad students), Anaconda provides a good balance of simplicity and coverage, particularly with audiences of varying backgrounds.
- BucketSort 9y agoThank you. I have been writing many notebooks in my AI journey. I included some of them with this workshop. Can't agree more about Anaconda!
- BucketSort 9y agoI recommend starting with Poke Pandas. And yes, I'm very proud of the name.
- mattip 9y agoThe repo is missing a LICENSE file, and the links to the data should also specify their redistribution policy / license. Why is this not standard practice when creating a repo these days?
- BrandoElFollito 9y agoBecause this is not a requirement : https://choosealicense.com/no-license/ https://choosealicense.com/no-license/ Sure, it simplifies things for those who want to have a closer look.
- cdancette 9y agoNo licence means that you can't even use the software. This seems very restrictive for a GitHub project
- BrandoElFollito 9y agoHave a look at the article I linked, the case of places such as GitHub is explained (TL;DR: the licence is derived from the TOS)
- IanCal 9y agoThe article says you can view and fork the code, but it doesn't mean you can use it. It's very restrictive. > Although a code host such as GitHub may allow you to view and fork the code, this does not imply that you are permitted to use, modify, or share the software for any purpose.
- BrandoElFollito 9y agoI stand corrected. Thanks for reading the TOS in detail. Indeed, GitHub let's you fork but then you cannot do anything else. My understanding now is that forking makes no sense when there is no license.
- brianzelip 9y agoit's been updated w/ MIT
- BucketSort 9y agoI did not expect such a response to my post. Thank you for making the issue, and I updated it with a MIT licence. In my defense, this is a repo I cobbled together on the side for my AI group. I did not expect it to get a lot of attention outside the group. Also, the code I've provided is more for educational purposes. I didn't really see people using the code in other open source projects. In respect to the data, I provided links to the public sources.
- anst 9y agoA really interesting collection for teaching Data Science. But the "WorkshopScipy" and the "scientific computation" make reference to something like scipy.org. It seems that this repo has different interests.
- BucketSort 9y agoThe workshop was focused on using tools in the scipy.org ecosystem. If you take a peak at the slides and code, you'll see that I primarily stick to scipy stuff.
