The course is targeted at PhD students, postdocs, or anyone willing to learn how to program in Python. Participants are assumed to have some experience with programming, but not necessarily in Python, and the UNIX shell. For this reason it is mandatory to follow the Practical Linux and Code management with git courses before.
There will be a focus on bioinformatics and programming to support scientific research in general. The program consists of four mornings with lessons and some assignments to be done in your own time (i.e., during the afternoons).
The course is free of charge for all personnel from MGC  and Erasmus MC institutes. Participants from outside these institutes pay €400. There is a maximum of 15 places. Should the course be oversubscribed then places will be allocated based on a first-come first-serve basis.
