Learn Python… the NSA way.

Free Python course materials! I put in a FOIA request to the NSA for their Python training materials and got back a 400-page printout of their COMP 3321 training course. So, I scanned and OCR'd it. Here is a PDF (warning: 118 MB) nsa.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com/comp3321.pdf

Please note: there are notably fewer seats available this year than previous workshops, so be sure to apply early if you are interested in attending. If you are interested in hosting a workshop, please contact me!


Announcing the next SciCoder workshop, to be held at the W. M. Keck Observatory (@keckobservatory), Sep 9-13. Applications are open! scicoder.org.

Debriefing after #AstroNMSU @swcarpentry. All those things you want to learn more about? I can't recommend @demitrimuna's @SciCoder enough!!
