Research Software Engineering with Python

Building software that makes research possible

By: Damien Irving,Kate Hertweck,Luke Johnston,Joel Ostblom,Charlotte Wickham,Greg Wilson

Writing and running software is now as much a part of science as telescopes and test tubes, but most researchers are never taught how to do either well. As a result, it takes them longer to accomplish simple tasks than it should, and it is harder for them to share their work with others than it needs to be. This book introduces the concepts, tools, and skills that researchers need to get more done in less time and with less pain. Based on the practical experiences of its authors, who collectively have spent several decades teaching software skills to scientists, it covers everything graduate-level researchers need to automate their workflows, collaborate with colleagues, ensure that their results are trustworthy, and publish what they have built so that others can build on it. The book assumes only a basic knowledge of Python as a starting point, and shows readers how it, the Unix shell, Git, Make, and related tools can give them more time to focus on the research they actually want to do. Research Software Engineering with Python can be used as the main text in a one-semester course or for self-guided study. A running example shows how to organize a small research project step by step; over a hundred exercises give readers a chance to practice these skills themselves, while a glossary defining over two hundred terms will help readers find their way through the terminology. All of the material can be re-used under a Creative Commons license, and all royalties from sales of the book will be donated to The Carpentries, an organization that teaches foundational coding and data science skills to researchers worldwide.

Data Science

A First Introduction with Python

By: Tiffany Timbers,Trevor Campbell,Melissa Lee,Joel Ostblom,Lindsey Heagy

Data Science: A First Introduction with Python focuses on using the Python programming language in Jupyter notebooks to perform data manipulation and cleaning, create effective visualizations, and extract insights from data using classification, regression, clustering, and inference. It emphasizes workflows that are clear, reproducible, and shareable, and includes coverage of the basics of version control. Based on educational research and active learning principles, the book uses a modern approach to Python and includes accompanying autograded Jupyter worksheets for interactive, self-directed learning. The text will leave readers well-prepared for data science projects. It is designed for learners from all disciplines with minimal prior knowledge of mathematics and programming. The authors have honed the material through years of experience teaching thousands of undergraduates at the University of British Columbia. Key Features: Includes autograded worksheets for interactive, self-directed learning. Introduces readers to modern data analysis and workflow tools such as Jupyter notebooks and GitHub, and covers cutting-edge data analysis and manipulation Python libraries such as pandas, scikit-learn, and altair. Is designed for a broad audience of learners from all backgrounds and disciplines.
