after the title of the event, there are two , followed by the date. I think this should only be one ,. It's probably because something in the session file was left out, e.g. the location and the template does not know how to deal with this.
We are going to get you started with Python using the Spyder Integrated Development Environment and teach basic Python data types and concepts like functions, loops and flow control.
To give you an idea what Python Scripting can be used for, we are going to solve a typical data-related problem: You downloaded some raw data from the internet as zip archives and need to extract them all before actually being able to start with data analysis.
Hence, we will write a small Python script to automate the extraction of data from a couple of zip archives for different climate stations.
During session #9 two weeks later, we'll have a look at how we can do some first analyses of some of these data.

From TeachTogether.tech/en/marketing: Unless the room will already be full in October, we should get a few posters or hand-outs ready for early 2019 to advertise:
Constructing your own for-loops is only rarely actually necessary. We'll learn about alternatives here. Bring your own code and let's de-loop it! Good introduction in German: Heise Developer: Weg mit den Schleifen!
Our website template seems to support that. If you prefer that over a) watching this repo, or b) being invited to an Outlook series event, please ๐ this.
If you prefer b) please send me your e-mail address.
What are those? What are they useful for? How do I construct and use them?
Bring your own code, data, texts, etc. and we'll try to find edge-cases of your regular expressions' matching false positives or not matching false negatives.
Everyone brings a several years old coding project and we update it together. Atom & Teletype, or Floobits could be helpful here for simultaneous typing into the same code. Or, we simply pass the keyboard around.
