Welcome to the study room
Welcome to the study room. This is where you can find all the resources we'll be using on the day for the NSA Python study group.
🌟 The course is designed for self-study or classroom work.
🌟 We will work together on the course material, and support each other.
🌟 We will make inroads on the first few modules and assess the course material together.
💬 Use Discord to share with the group. We're in channel: #nsa-python-study-group
Ways of working
The format of the event is a live stream for everyone to view, combined with smaller working groups facilitated by a social cafe (created by the brilliant Kevin Lewis).
We'll explore the text of the course together through a live stream and Discord - use the #nsa-python-study-group channel to ask, comment and answer as we work through it.
A we reach exercises or hands-on sections, we'll use the social cafe so that you can talk in groups while doing it.
Keep the live stream open - so you can hear when it's time to start again.
Shared tools (below)
- Live stream - where we'll be presenting the material
- Social cafe - where you can work together in groups on exercises
- Library - with deep links to each module in the source material
To be ready for the study group, install Anaconda and a text editor eg. Visual Studio Code
Live stream
Join the study group at 11.00am on Saturday 28th.
Social cafe
Join the social cafe to work together with others in smaller groups during the exercises.
- We have randomly assigned you a table number to help evenly distribute people across all the tables.
- Ideally each table will have a mix of abilities - so feel free to ask and answer questions.
- If you'd like to talk to the room at large, you can use our Discord server (join | return), we're in channel #nsa-python-study-group
