Session proposals - master #15

Closed mbonsma closed 8 years ago

mbonsma commented 9 years ago

Comment with proposed sessions, and if possible volunteer yourself or someone you know to lead a session. Even better, choose a date that you could lead it!

As of now, Thursday 6pm - 7pm is still the most popular time. Fill out the Doodle poll if you haven't yet.

If your topic is short, we can group several topics together into a coding lightning demo.

Sample comment:

Topic: Regular expressions in Python Presenter: Madeleine (@mbonsma) Dates: Any except July 9 Proposed length: Lightning demo

mbonsma commented 9 years ago

Topic: Creating versatile plots in Python - matplotlib Presenter: Ricardo @ricardoharripaul Dates: ? Length: ?

cczhu commented 9 years ago

Topic: Beginner's guide to Python Presenter: Charles @cczhu Dates: ? Proposed length:* 1 hour

mbonsma commented 9 years ago

Topic: Phylogenomics / de novo transcriptome assembly / BLAST and variant tools / sequence alignment / building gene trees Presenter: Matt @MattStata

ricardoharripaul commented 9 years ago

I think we should have the beginner guide to python before making graphs in Python. If people don't mind.

What does everyone else think?

mbonsma commented 9 years ago

Agreed. Charles is going to do the Intro to Python code-along on July 9.

mbonsma commented 9 years ago

It would be cool to have an Intro to R session as well - I know lots of people were interested in R.

lwjohnst86 commented 9 years ago

What does the 'master' part of the issue title mean?

Topic: Intro to R and data wrangling in R Presenter: Luke (me!) Dates: Mid-to-late July, anytime August Proposed length: 1 hr

mbonsma commented 9 years ago

By 'master' I meant that this is an aggregate of all the separate topic threads, and this is where actual sessions get planned as opposed to just suggesting topics. It can definitely be changed to a different name.

lannajin commented 9 years ago

I could potentially give an intro to R session, but in the moment busy with defense stuff. Could most likely host an intro to R session at the end of August for those interested.

Edit: Just realized Luke has offered to host an R session. I could do instead a tutorial on R Shiny (interactive graphics in R)

mbonsma commented 9 years ago

A thought - we could use the wiki to assemble a list of session ideas and edit it as we go. What do people think?

lwjohnst86 commented 9 years ago

:+1: for @lannajin suggestion for R Shiny! I would be interested.

Also, :+1: to the wiki idea! I just got it started here if anyone wants to look it over.

ricardoharripaul commented 9 years ago

Sounds good. FOr R shiny you need to install a server. it is a bit slow. Someone in my previous lab made a data browser with it.

lannajin commented 9 years ago

There's also http://www.shinyapps.io/, which doesn't require setting up a server.

mbonsma commented 8 years ago

@lwjohnst86 - How do you feel about doing Intro to R next week (July 23)?

lannajin commented 8 years ago

I could do the Shiny R tutorial on July 30th. Or, alternatively the 20th (maybe) or 27th (definitely).

lwjohnst86 commented 8 years ago

Hmm, yea I could. I'll setup a event issue tomorrow with details.

@lannajin I like the idea of Shiny R on July 30 - a nice run of R. @lwjohnst86 - awesome!

ricardoharripaul commented 8 years ago

I can prepare something for the plotting functions. I was actually planning on doing that this weekend. Also, D3 is really cool.

@ricardoharripaul - we talked about D3 tonight! We were thinking a session on D3 would be cool.

ricardoharripaul commented 8 years ago

It would be great. I have some code. Angular Js and NodeJs are pretty cool too but they are somewhat more complicated.

Yes please teach me the ways of D3 and javascript!!!! I have a book on D3 if you'd like to use it. Would like to know, specifically, how to filter data for specific variables.

ricardoharripaul commented 8 years ago

I have some tutorials if you would like them.

@ricardoharripaul - sorry for the scheduling confusion. As of now we have Intro to R this Thursday (July 23) followed by Shiny R (July 30). Would August 13 work for you for matplotlib? Other August Thursdays would be an option too (I won't be around on August 6).

@lannajin - do you have a preference for which day you do Shiny R, July 30 or sometime in August?

ricardoharripaul commented 8 years ago

These times can work I just have to know.

Ricardo

@ricardoharripaul it's up to you. Pick your favourite Thursday in August, and it's yours! Once you pick, I'll update the wiki with the date and create an event listing.

lannajin commented 8 years ago

@mbonsma I was planning to present the stuff I've presented before to my two labs, so I already have something together for the Shiny tutorial. So I'm pretty agnostic as to what particular day I present (so long as I'm in town). I'll let you figure out the best date and I'll roll with it.

ricardoharripaul commented 8 years ago

I can do the sixth.

Okay so we've got @lannajin on the 30th and @ricardoharripaul on the 6th. Sounds good! (Ricardo, I'll have to catch up on your material another time, I'll be sorry to miss it!)

mbonsma commented 8 years ago

@lannajin, I made an issue for this Thursday. Can you check it over and add anything people should do in preparation?

lannajin commented 8 years ago

I'm totally confused how I'm supposed to create a new directory within lessons and upload my own...

mbonsma commented 8 years ago

@lannajin are you using Git Bash to do stuff? If so, you can create a folder in your forked or local version and then push it to Github.

Or, if you just want to stay on the website, you can make a new folder by clicking the '+' in the 'lessons' folder and typing your folder name and then a slash (I got this from here). Then you can create a file, name it whatever you want, and paste whatever you want in there.

lwjohnst86 commented 8 years ago

Here's a step-by-step in case others want to know too:

  1. Fork the studyGroup into your GitHub account
  2. git clone your new forked version of studyGroup onto your computer, if you want into your Desktop (cd Desktop; git clone yoururl replacing yoururl with the URL provided on your GitHub studyGroup repo, for example mine would look like: git clone https://github.com/lwjohnst86/studyGroup.git)
  3. cd studyGroup and git status or git log to confirm you are there and to see what's going on in the new repo.
  4. Add the original Study Group repo using this command: git remote add upstream https://github.com/UofTCoders/studyGroup.git
  5. Create a folder in the lessons directory on your computer.
  6. Create a file.
  7. git add newfile and git commit -m "Added file on lesson"
  8. Push up to your GitHub git push origin gh-pages
  9. Submit a Pull Request from your GitHub account into the UofTCoders.

Does that help?

lannajin commented 8 years ago

Can someone else do this for me (@mbonsma)? My defense is tomorrow and I've spent the last hour poking around GitHub trying to get it to work. I think I'm going to give up. I've emailed @mbonsma the files...@lwjohnst86, I will try your method next time...

mbonsma commented 8 years ago

I'm on it!

lwjohnst86 commented 8 years ago

I've put together a wiki on those unfamiliar with GitHub, but who want to contribute a lesson: https://github.com/UofTCoders/studyGroup/wiki/Contributing-a-lesson

mbonsma commented 8 years ago

Amazing! Thanks @lwjohnst86, that looks great!

QuLogic commented 8 years ago

My defense is tomorrow

And you're still trying to work on this! That's some dedication there...

mbonsma commented 8 years ago

@ricardoharripaul, are you good to go for this Thursday (the 6th)? If so, feel free to create an event issue here (or I can, just let me know), and then either you or I can make the post for the website (examples here, instructions here).

ricardoharripaul commented 8 years ago

Hey,

I created a new issue and a short description. I am assuming it is in Rm. 408.

Yes, 408! That's perfect, thanks!

mbonsma commented 8 years ago

Group poll: how about a coworking or discussion session for our meetup on August 13th? The idea of themed coworking sessions was brought forward a few weeks ago - how about a discussion on plotting in response to the R and Python plotting sessions of the last two weeks?

ricardoharripaul commented 8 years ago

As in using ggplot2 and python to graph the same data or are we seeing how people liked the different sessions.

I was thinking more like a personal show-and-tell, maybe ways people have applied things from the sessions or other tricks and tools people use for plotting, or as a place for people to bring questions more informally.

lannajin commented 8 years ago

@mbonsma that's a great idea that will hopefully lead to a fruitful session. Unfortunately I'm out of town until the week of the 20th...pretty bummed to have to miss out on both the python plotting and coworking sessions!

mbonsma commented 8 years ago

@lannajin this is one I think we could do more than once, especially once a new term starts.

lwjohnst86 commented 8 years ago

And we haven't really had a formal session on graphing in R... I would definitely come just to hear others thoughts and experiences!

I could do the Phylogenomics bit if it's something like this that people are interested in: https://docs.google.com/document/d/16r-wbb1BlfeO6FM2d5pojeQnJQEjgOLVN_iB7tWLVuk/pub

That looks sweet! I don't know what @MattStata had in mind - maybe you could do a joint thing? Although that might be more work than one person leading something.

Anyone else want to add suggestions or preferences?

lannajin commented 8 years ago

Maybe we could all do three minute thesis presentations. Or, we could all quickly do a three to five minute blurb on something (a program, library/package, resource, tool, etc.) that we've currently discovered or have been using lately that we'd like other people to know about.
