1. High Performance Data Analytics in Python online Workshop, September 5-7 online:
Python is an industry-standard programming language for working with data on all levels of the data analytics pipeline, thanks to the rich ecosystem of libraries ranging from generic numerical libraries to special-purpose and/or domain-specific packages which are often supported by large developer communities and stable funding sources.
This online workshop is meant to give an overview of working with research data in Python using general libraries for storing, processing, analysing and sharing data. The focus is on improving performance. After covering tools for performant processing (netcdf, numpy, pandas, scipy) on single workstations the focus shifts to parallel, distributed and GPU computing (snakemake, numba, dask, multiprocessing, mpi4py).
Prerequisites
- Basic experience with Python
- Basic experience in working in a Linux-like terminal
- Some prior experience in working with large or small datasets

This instructor training workshop is focused on helping competent practitioners and experts in various fields teach their knowledge to others. It also serves a kickstart to teaching ENCCS lessons. The two-half-day online workshop will present best practices in teaching technical topics both online and in-person and is based on past experiences from both ENCCS and well-known educational initiatives like The Carpentries and CodeRefinery. It will include a brief tour of the following topics:
- Science and philosophy of teaching
- How to teach interactive, hands-on workshops
- How to design interactive, hands-on lessons
- How ENCCS runs workshops
- How ENCCS has taken the best advantage of online teaching
This workshop is organised by ENCCS, NCC Lithuania and CASTIEL.
