Feed Description: Writings from the software side of bioinformatics and chemical informatics, with a heaping of Python thrown in for good measure.
The
slides from my Introduction to Programming for Bioinformatics
using Python class taught at the NBN,
University of the Western Cape, South Africa.
My PyCon
2004 talk. It covered how Python as a high-level language fits in
with the different chemistry and biology projects. I figured most
people aren't in those fields so wouldn't want lots of details on the
different projects. Instead, I covered more of the history of high
level languages and why Python fits in pretty well in chemistry but
why it isn't (yet) so popular in bioinformatics.
I tried a different lecture style this time, no slides, just talk
since most of what I was talking about was history. Turns out that I
use the overhead notes a lot for myself. I tried to follow my essay
but kept rearranging things. Even if I don't have overhead bullet
points for the lecture (some pictures would still help) I found out I
need them for myself. AMK pointed out that I talked too much about
history. I think for EuroPython I'll focus more on the actual
libraries.
there's news about my current travel schedule. EuroPython
in June and BOSC/ISMB in July. Hope to talk about Biopython in the
first and EUtils (and maybe this little project with the NBN) at the
second.
