The University of Mississippi Libraries is hosting a free Python programming workshop for UM staff, faculty, and students on Tuesday, May 12th, Wednesday, May 13th, and Thursday, May 14th.

The three half-day (8:30 AM - 12:00 PM) workshop series will cover data analysis, visualization, and machine learning in Python, focusing particularly on the pandas library. Prior beginner experience with Python is required to participate in the sessions. Participants are expected to know how to assign & call variables, print text, identify and work with common data types (string, float, integer, Boolean, none, etc.) and call a function. You can register for the workshop at this link: http://tiny.cc/UMLPYTHON

Workshop capacity is limited to 50 participants. Register by May 4th to reserve your spot. If you have questions about the workshop series, please email [email protected].

We hope to see you there!
