Design Workshop

Hi All,

Thanks for a great few weeks! While the course is “officially” over, we will be hosting a small Design Workshop for designing Your Own database & data pipeline next Tuesday, May 12 from 10-11:30 am.

We’re hoping that this small session will give you a chance do discuss how you might design your schema and tables in DataJoint.

We ask that you think about how you might design a database for your data, and come prepared with a diagram that you can share on your screen OR a skeleton of a schema with a few empty tables in a jupyter notebook (like the code in the “Workshop” folder of the course repo here). There is no need to add/import any actual data - this is just about design!

We’ll walk through your ideas and discuss various ways you might build your database. Please indicate if you would like to join this session in the Slack #design_workshop channel.

Finally, if you have any feedback about the material in the course or general suggestions, please message us!

Best,

Your Neuropythonista Team

We will be storing the recorded zoom lectures on courseworks here: https://courseworks2.columbia.edu/courses/105634/files. If you would like access to courseworks please slack us. All the material except the videos will still be on our course website neuropython.com (you’re here lol).

You will be submitting future homeworks (aka HW2 +) to your private git accounts. For those interested in receiving feedback on HW1, please submit a pdf or .ipynb to courseworks here: https://courseworks2.columbia.edu/courses/105634/assignments or send us your file via slack.

Week 1 HW is now posted!

Pre-class Announcement

Pre-class slides are up - check them out in the course calendar page!

If you’re already comfortable hosting Jupyter Notebooks locally and know the ins-and-outs of installing/importing Python packages, you can skip these :) If that all sounds a little dicey to you, give them a look before class!

We’re excited to see you all at 10am on April 9th - expect a link to the meeting before class starts.
