Interactive Visualizations, Web Development, and using AI for coding

You don’t know Python, but want to? You know a little Python or did it years ago and need a refresher? Then join our HeFDI Code School Basics, a dynamic series of three hands-on online workshops in collaboration with NFDI4Earth. These workshops – all free of charge – will guide you through the basic concepts and functions of Python using Jupyter notebooks, and go all the way up to manipulating data and datasets, making interactive plots and your own webpage where users can interact with your data visualisations.

In this third workshop you will produce interactive plots where you, for example, can select which dataset to display or what parameter to be used displayed on the x-/y-axes. You will make a request to an online database to access its data. Finally, you will create a webpage with interactive elements, and use AI for vibe code your programs.

The focus of the course is on you coding, so we will alternate between 10-20 minute coding presentations and breakout sessions with lots of exercises, allowing you to understand how Python works through your own practice.

Your Benefits

Hands-On Learning: Each 4-hour workshop blends insightful lectures with engaging group activities and practical coding exercises. Because the best way to learn coding is to write your own!

Flexible Participation: Attend all three workshops for a comprehensive experience, or select the ones that spark your interest most.

Instructor

The instructor is PD Dr. Dominik Hezel, Goethe-University Frankfurt and co-spokesperson of the NFDI4Earth.

Language

Workshops will be held in English.

Prerequisites

We will use an online version for Jupyter Notebooks, hence, a device running a browser is sufficient to participate in the course.
