Python lesson development #6

Closed libcce closed 5 years ago

libcce commented 6 years ago

At CarpentryCon, several people discussed whether we should extend the current LC Python lesson https://github.com/LibraryCarpentry/lc-python-intro to include more introductory, intermediate, and advanced material. There have also been some suggestions via the Gitter Lobby and lesson dev about incorporating more XML/JSON examples in the Python lessons. The following are suggestions of resources that can help as we consider this:

@weaverbel Brian Avery from Portland instructor training's lessons: https://reproducible-science-curriculum.github.io/data-exploration-RR-Jupyter/

@libcce Rahul Dave's Data Scientist Training for Librarians 3-day Python program: https://github.com/rahuldave/dst4l3 Note: DST4L was going to include more mapping/GIS as part of the Python lessons as it was well received

@ccronje Mentioned Programming Historian as a potential resource: https://programminghistorian.org/en/lessons/

Please add your thoughts to this thread:

I also like https://swcarpentry.github.io/python-novice-gapminder/. It does some intro to the language but gets into pandas and plotting before noon on the first day. +1 to the Brian Avery lesson for having tidy data, we already use this concept in @jezcope's https://github.com/LibraryCarpentry/lc-spreadsheets. It would be good if we could thread this concept throughout our data oriented lessons.
