The event will be held in English and run for one day, on September 6, 2024.

Our workshop is designed for doctoral candidates and postdocs with no prior knowledge who want to acquire a solid foundation in programming.

Why participate? Programming simplifies the analysis of large datasets and the automation of research tasks. Gain essential skills that you can directly apply to your scientific work.

Content

Receive an introduction to loops, if-statements, functions, object-oriented programming, typical data structures, and basic algorithms. Examples from Python, R, C, and Go illustrate the concepts. Exercises are based on pseudocode for language-independent understanding.

Methods

A combination of theoretical explanations, practical demonstrations, and interactive exercises. Ask questions in real-time and apply what you learn immediately.

After the workshop, you will have a solid foundation and a deeper understanding of programming logic, making it easier to start programming with your preferred language and enabling you to write simple programs. Take this opportunity to expand your programming skills.

No prior knowledge required! No preparatory tasks are necessary—just bring your curiosity!

Further workshops on programming coming up:

• Introduction to Programming with R (3-day course: September 11, 13 and 23, 2024)
• Introduction to Programming with Python (3-day course: November 25, November 29, and December 5, 2024)

This event is open to doctoral researchers and postdocs at KIT who are KHYS members.
