Future lesson ideas #13

Now that we're about ready to wrap up the first four lessons, I figured it'd help for us to keep a running list of ideas for future sessions. We should also get a survey ready to send out after the Git lesson.

Definite future sessions:

  • Data analysis and visualization in Python (pandas, seaborn)
  • Data visualization in R w/ ggplot2 (likely part of the BGSS dinner series)
  • Collaborating with Git/GitHub

Possible future sessions:

  • Intro to stats in R
    • simple functions like cor, model objects (lm, aov, etc), formula objects, summary, tidy stats with broom
  • Intermediate topics in base Python
    • methods + attributes, control flow, classes, try/except, assertions
  • Intermediate topics in Python - useful packages
    • argparse, collections, csv, etc - maybe even requests?
  • Classes in Python
    • ie full lesson on classes with some use cases
  • Intro to writing scientific documents with LaTeX
  • Cluster/server integration?
    • this'd be hard to do in a workshop format...
  • Debugging in Python
    • ie walks through errors and how to fix them
  • Debugging in R (same as above)
  • Intermediate topics in R
    • tidyr, stringr, etc - one or more workshops
    • could also be a data cleaning workshop?
  • Advanced topics in R
    • functional programming with purrr is one I'd love to do as a whole workshop
    • another fun one could be defensive programming

Spitballing:

  • Some sort of intro ML stuff in Python with scikit-learn?
  • Full on Biopython workshop??
    • Biopython is huge - this could just cover super common tools like SeqIO and Entrez and then dabble briefly in documentation to show what else is out there (ie AlignIO, pairwise2)

Lightning Demos (5-10 minute demos from people in the crowd)

  • Data visualization (show a cool plot you made and how you did it!)
  • Coding interfaces (what's your coding setup? how do you code efficiently? what are some tricks you've picked up?)
  • Python (what's something cool you did/found in Python?)
