Anyone interested can clone the repository or download a tarball and make modifications needed to present the material locally.</p> <p>We would also welcome comments, fixes, or suggestions for improvement. This can be done as a Github issue or pull request, or by sending email to <a class="reference external" href="mailto:aldcroft%40head.cfa.harvard.edu">aldcroft<span>@</span>head<span>.</span>cfa<span>.</span>harvard<span>.</span>edu</a>.</p> <p>The workshop material here was presented in the Spring of 2011 at the Harvard / Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. A range of about 25 to 50 people participated in the different workshops, which were 1.5 hours in duration. Based on our experience a 2 hour slot would have been more reasonable to allow time for the exercises and discussion.</p> </div> <div class="section" id="about-the-format"> <h2>About the Format<a class="headerlink" href="#about-the-format" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2> <p>The workshop presentations are formatted as Sphinx web documents instead of the more traditional slide presentation. This was a natural choice for the authors who all use <a class="reference external" href="http://sphinx.pocoo.org">Sphinx</a> for Python documenation. Further inspiration was drawn from <a class="reference external" href="http://www.sal.ksu.edu/faculty/tim/prof-day/index.html">Dumping PowerPoint in Favor of Web Sites</a>. This site highlights by discussion and examples the advantages in using a web-based study guide. In particular we found the non-linear format (e.g. jumping to different sections or web sites) and ability to show longer examples were quite valuable.</p> <p>Having full prose text results in a document which is far more useful as a standalone study guide than presentation slides. Ironically it also reduces the temptation to read from the screen.</p> </div> <div class="section" id="license"> <h2>License<a class="headerlink" href="#license" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2> <p>The Practical Python for Astronomers workshop content is made available under the terms of the <a class="reference external" href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0">Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 License</a> (<a class="reference external" href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/legalcode">legal code</a>).
