As you might know, some people at the DNF are encouraging the use of new technologies for data analysis, visualisation and database scraping. With the support of the PIs, we are happy to announce the start of the DNF coding club that will provide the basics on daily research technologies such as bash, R, Jupyter and Shiny.

The session is open to anyone with or without prior technical knowledge. These activities are designed to get familiar and used to these skills in a friendly and interactive environment. Only requirement is to bring your own laptop with wifi connection.

Coming Soon

Stay Tuned

The second coding session will take place in the APP room on Wednesday, December 4 from 13:00 to 17:30. In this session, we have the additional contribution of Tilmann and Romain. The schedule will be the following:

Theory:

• Summary of the session
• Showcase of Arduino Projects

Practise:

• Basics on bash and terminal
• Basics of programming with R in Jupyter Notebooks
• Machine Learning for pattern recognition (automatic cell extraction)

Closure:

• Apero and social dynamics

The first coding session will take place in the APP room on Wednesday, November 6 from 13:30 to 18:00. The schedule is the following:

1. A quick intro to tools for reproducible research: git, bash, docker and jupyter.
2. A quick intro to R tools for data manipulation and visualization: dplyr and ggplot2.
3. Open discussion to prepare for coding topics next session and introduction to a custom-made application for batch image analysis.
4. Closure with food for brain: pizza.
5. Every module will take approximately 1h30, with intermittent breaks of 15 min.
