Data @ Rice
The Absolute Basics of Jupyter Notebooks
Every day, thousands (if not more) of programmers, statisticians, data scientists, information professionals, and journalists use Jupyter, an open-source web app that interactively presents live code augmented with visualizations and narrative text. Known as Notebooks, these interactive scripts are perfect for working with (or teaching) coding, as well as telling an unusual story aided by visuals. In this short course, we introduce the basics of installing Jupyter and creating your first notebook.
Introduction to OpenRefine
OpenRefine is a handy desktop application that can help clean inconsistent data. This session will introduce the program and how it can be used to get an overview of a dataset, resolve inconsistencies, split data into granular parts, and match local data points to external datasets.
Introduction to Shell Scripting in Bash
Learn to automate repetitive, day-to-day tasks to maximize your productivity. We'll cover the most useful features of the Unix Bourne-Again Shell, such as aliases, functions, variables, and rudimentary regular expressions.
