The School of Technology is dedicated to creating and maintaining a safe, welcoming, inclusive and diverse community that nurtures a culture of mutual respect and consideration. It is important that as a School we embed and share good practice, encourage an open and transparent culture where individuals feel able to come forward to raise issues and have the confidence that they will be dealt with in a fair and robust manner. BREAKING THE SILENCE – Where you draw the line? The Vice-Chancellor launched the University’s Breaking the Silence Campaign in October 2017. Breaking the Silence aims to tackle issues of sexual harassment and misconduct www.breakingthesilence.cam.ac.uk As part of this campaign the School of Technology will be holding an event designed to support us in working together to become a more inclusive community, hosted by Dr Miriam Lynn from the Equality and Diversity Section and Tracy Brooks School of Technology Human Resources Business Manager. The aim of the session is to support individuals across the School to foster an inclusive working environment, to give advice on 'where to draw the line' and also highlight the support and guidance available for members of the University (both staff and students are welcome) in relation to sexual harassment and misconduct. |

This course is part of the Scientific Computing series. This full-day course introduces the Python programming language to those who are already familiar with another high level programing language such as C/C++, Fortran, Java, Perl or Visual Basic. The aim of this course is to give such programmers sufficient familiarity with Python that they can attend any of the more advanced Python courses organised by the Computing service and easily follow any of the widely available Python tutorials on the more complex aspects of the language. This course covers all the material contained in the "Programming: Python for Absolute Beginners" course, but in a more abbreviated fashion suitable for those who already have significant programming experience. This course does NOT cover the more complex aspects of the language (for such topics see the other Computing Service Python courses), nor is there much explicit discussion of the object oriented features of Python. If you are an accomplished and experienced programmer you may find this course too slow, you may prefer to self-teach the course rather than attend in person, the full set of notes can be downloaded. |

This course is part of the Scientific Computing series. This course is aimed at those new to programming and provides an introduction to programming using Python, focussing on scientific programming. This course is probably unsuitable for those with programming experience, even if it is just in shell scripting or Matlab-like programs. By the end of this course, attendees should be able to write simple Python programs and to understand more complex Python programs written by others. As this course is part of the Scientific Computing series, the examples chosen are of most relevance to scientific programming. |
