 Yes, I pushed the right button So this is the course page Well, I will scroll down to where the schedule is and click on the introduction right here and Let's go through it. So welcome if you haven't seen this yet So this is Python for scientific computing. It's a live stream course anyone can attend and we have a Great program for you. This is the third year. We've been doing it the first day covers some basic tools which Are used in the rest of the course and everyone should know day two also stays fairly basic with some Well, Panda's visualization data formats The third day we get into some more interesting things you might not have seen before so scripting Skype sci-fi ecosystem getting data from web APIs and parallel stuff and then day four is sort of Advanced tools which are not necessarily exactly programming but really needed if you're doing things And all the schedule will be adjusted as needed. We'll basically just take and See how it goes. Um So how to attend so as we've said it's live stream, but this also means there's different pathways So not everyone has to attend it the same way. So some people will pay close attention do all the exercises It takes their full attention Some people will sort of watch and type along sometimes See how things go but not be very active Some will watch passively you might not try anything You just see what happens and you try it at your own time when you're ready all of these are fine to do and Valid ways of attending and you might even choose different options at different lessons. So for example at the early part You might try the numpy and pandas exercises, but at the later when we're looking at dependencies and packaging More people do that as a demo and we just watch That's okay You need to be intentional about what you want to do because there's too much material for everyone to do everything So, who are we the people putting on this course? They are also scientific computing. So we're at Alta University in Finland. Um, That's who I and some of the instructors are from many more instructors are Scattered around Sweden and Norway as part of code refinery, which is also co-sponsoring this course We have at least 10 different instructors total and about that many other helpers So let's get to some practicalities and see if we can tame the hack MD some So basically live streaming is different. It takes a little bit of time to get used to So this is more like a TV broadcast than a Course in a lecture. So we're here on Twitch. We're sending out information to people Um Anyone can watch there's pauses for exercises where we will say okay now for 20 minutes you can work on this We will be quiet and then you can do what you'd like You can work on the exercise you can work on it with other people in zoom you can make your own zoom You can go to a meeting room in your own Place and get your friends and work together. It's up to you. We'll also have separate breaks Where you should be taking a break um It's really up to you so there's different things that will happen in here There will be the talking and the demos which are on the live stream Sometimes we'll be on the live stream, but we'll ask that you type along with us So in this case, we'll try to be going slow enough that everyone can Do this There's times there's exercises where we're quiet and like I said, it's up to you to do them alone if you'd like and our goal is to have at least 10 minutes of break between Minute 50 and minute 10 at the top of each hour uh chat and communication so um There is The twitch chat and zoom chat if you're there, but this is not the main way to communicate So at least I'll be looking at the zoom chat a little bit, but not that often Instead there's hack md. So it's been a bit chaotic so far so The main point is that in hack md You should always be writing right down here. So above the horizontal line So always writing at the bottom Unless you're answering to another question and that's where new things come And we follow there and answer new We'll be making new sections in there like this And say we'll put in the link there and things like that um But then for future questions, you will write here Like this and we continue Like that Let's see. So here's an example So got questions answers and the reason we always ask the new questions at the bottom is so it stays It doesn't get too chaotic And all the uh core staff know where we should be looking So there's a whole um set of helpers here Who who will be answering your answering your questions in real time So point one, there'll be too much information here if you try to read everything in hack md You'll be have information overload So again be intentional about here If you're really familiar with the course material, maybe you'll be reading all those questions and using that to learn If you're new to the material, maybe you'll be focusing more on how we talk Um, but this will be saved and posted on um Well, say this will be saved so you can continue accessing it later So there's no urgency to go read everything right away So hopefully with this it will be a little bit more calm There's edit uh and view mode and a both mode Please switch to view mode if you aren't actively editing we think that reduces the load on the server some Okay Let's see. Yes, please don't include any names or identifiers in hack md um at all Unless it's the core staff, but even then let's try to not have it there So this is public everyone can see it It might be broadcast on the stream recorded and will be archived later and the less personal information there the better If hack md gets overloaded then we will just wait and see Actually, this isn't hack md. It's a self-hosted hedge doc. We have Okay, uh, we've already done the ice breaker in hack md Uh screen arrangement So as you may notice we have this weird portrait style screen share The point of that is that you have half your screen available for you here like this And then or for us to see the broadcast and the other half is available for you to arrange to do the course however you'd like You might have a web browser open a workspace Well that workspace might be another web browser with jupiter in it You know, whatever you want, but that's the way that's why we've done it this way And you can hide the chat before you go to theater mode and then it will make sure the chat is not there But we have pretty good reviews saying this works even if Like even for a single small laptop screen Okay, where do you focus this is things I've said before so there's so much information Um first focus on the screen share and the lecture If you have extra mental capacity, then you can focus on your type along and what you're doing yourself Then if you have extra information focused on the hack md um If you have a question you can write it there go back to the exercises and come back a little bit later and you'll see the answers there Um, and then the lesson load web page as needed um With the reference material that we're presenting We will make it really clear when to switch between the stream and the exercise zoom For the people that are there um But yeah, most people are not there. So you're not missing much the hack md replaces most of the otherwise live interaction we'd have But the zoom exercise session is a great place if you see some problem And you'd like someone to see and help you solve it right away So what are the things that can go wrong? um The lessons may be too simple. We'll later exercises will be more interesting lessons are too advanced Well, then switch to a simpler way of attending watch and see what we do And experiment with it later If we make mistakes, it's by design. You learn things based on You learn more when we make a mistake than when we do everything perfectly Hack md stops responding. Well, we'll talk about that when it happens if the stream dies that basically means my computer has died In that case just stick around for a little bit. We'll resume it soon Maybe in five ish minutes while it takes me to get my computer started and when those arranged and all that And believe it or not in one of our previous courses Uh, major internet content distribution network had problems and Basically, the whole internet was breaking at the time, but we just waited and it worked again soon Let's see videos are available. So you don't need to feel stressed about seeing everything right away Um, everyone should be respectful and helpful in this course um on the main page, there's a A code of conduct in ways you can contact us if needed, but here's a few main points. So We acknowledge everyone's at different levels Uh, please help that way um Everyone is both a teacher and a learner um The Take some time to check in and see how your fellow people are doing And if things aren't right like for example, the volumes are not balanced. Let us know right away So with hack and d you can just write it there. We'll see and solve it as soon as we can Uh, let's see So there are in fact now credits offered For this course. You can see the course wave web page for information on that um You can join us. You can join our chat at Cobra finer. You can follow us on different things um You can tweet about us use mastodon whatever And consider attending other workshops that we have like the main code refinery workshop So, okay, I seen this is right before Uh 15 so we are doing pretty well There is no more questions under intro here um
