Python workshop registration instructions for foreign participants. Register here

Python is a general-purpose, high-level, remarkably powerful dynamic programming language that is used in a wide variety of application domains. Python supports multiple programming paradigms, including object-oriented, imperative and functional programming styles. The FOSSEE team at IIT Bombay offers training programs in Python. These are live assisted remote, interactive workshops. Participants will gain hands-on experience in Python through a series of practice sessions and quizzes.

The FOSSEE (Free/Libre and Open Source Software for Education) project at IIT Bombay (https://fossee.in) promotes Python, and other FLOSS, such as Scilab, eSim, DWSIM,  Osdag, OpenFOAM, OpenModelica, R, Drupal, ChemCollective Virtual Lab, Biopython, Avogadro, UCSF Chimera, CellDesigner, Linux, and open source hardware, such as Arduino and OpenPLC. The FOSSEE Project is funded by NMEICT, Ministry of Education, Govt. of India.

Methodology of the Workshop

The workshop will be for 3 days, around 6 hrs of lectures/hands on sessions on each day. The workshop will be conducted using a mix of pre-recorded videos with hands on learning and live sessions. Practice problems/assignments will also be provided after every topic followed by discussions on them to get a good understanding of each topic.

All participants will get the Python software. Course material will be kept available for your reference even after the workshop. We encourage you to contact us in case you wish to conduct similar workshops in your vicinity.
