[dib-training] Workshops Announcements: Regular Expressions & Python, scipy.optimize, Sphinx, Webhooks and Bitbucket

[Jessica Mizzi]

We have three upcoming workshops. All three are located in the DSI space in
the UC Davis Shields Library (
http://dib-training.readthedocs.org/en/pub/DSI-space-directions.html)

1. Regular Expressions & Python - February 17, 2016
Instructor: Tiffany Timbers, SFU

Description: This half-day workshop will introduce the topic of regular
expressions (using patterns to match strings) and how it can be implemented
in the programming language Python.

We will explore examples of using regular expressions find transcription
factor binding sites and to find regions of phage DNA (spacers) in
bacterial genomes - key parts of the CRISPR bacterial immune system. We
will also explore how to build a test suite for regular expression searches
to ensure the regular expression pattern matching is accurate.

This workshop will be taught remotely and broadcast to UC Davis via Google
Hangouts. It will also be streaming on YouTube.

2. scipy.optimize - February 19, 2016
Instructor: Ariel Rokem

Description: The scipy.optimize library is part of a Python based
collection of open source software for scientific, mathematic, and
engineering work called Scipy (http://scipy.org/).

In this half-day workshop, we will focus on using this library to find
models that are good approximations of data. We will learn how fit
different models to experimental data and how to compare different models
to each other.

This workshop will be taught remotely and broadcast to UC Davis via Google
Hangouts. It will also be streaming on YouTube.

3. Sphinx, Webhooks, and Bitbucket - February 29th, 2016
Instructor: Adelaide Rhodes

This workshop will cover using webhooks with Bitbucket to create Web sites
that automatically update when you make changes in a Bitbucket repository.
Sphinx and reStructuredText will be used to build the underlying Web site.

This workshop will be taught remotely and broadcast to UC Davis via Google
Hangouts. It will also be streaming on YouTube.
