ASPP2024: 16ᵗʰ Advanced Scientific Programming in Python Summer School
======================================================================

https://aspp.school

Scientists spend more and more time writing, maintaining, and debugging software. \
While techniques for doing this efficiently have evolved, only few scientists have \
been trained to use them. As a result, instead of doing their research, they spend \
far too much time writing deficient code and reinventing the wheel. In this course we \
will present a selection of advanced programming techniques and best practices which \
are standard in the industry, but especially tailored to the needs of a programming \
scientist. Lectures are interactive and allow students to acquire direct hands-on \
experience with the topics. Students will work in pairs throughout the school and \
will team up to practice the newly learned skills in a real programming project — \
an entertaining computer game.

We use the Python programming language for the entire course. Python works as a \
simple programming language for beginners, but more importantly, it also works great \
in scientific simulations and data analysis. Python is the standard tool for the \
programming scientist due to clean language design, ease of extensibility, and the \
great wealth of open source libraries for scientific computing and data \
visualization.

This school is targeted at PhD students, postdocs and more senior researchers from \
all areas of science. Competence in Python or in another language such as Java, \
JavaScript, C/C++, MATLAB, or R is absolutely required. Basic knowledge of Python and \
git or another version control system is assumed. Participants without any prior \
experience with Python or git should work through the proposed introductory material \
before the course.

We care for diversity and inclusion, and strive for a welcoming atmosphere to \
programming scientists of all levels. In particular, we have focused on recruiting an \
international and gender-balanced pool of students.
