PyData Calgary Inaugural Meetup

If you work with data or would like to learn how to work with data, please join us for Calgary’s first PyData meetup! The meetup will take place in room 440B on the 4th floor of the Taylor Family Digital Library on the main campus. Come meet other Data Wranglers and learn more about Jupyter Notebooks, pandas, Numpy, matplotlib, and related data science libraries. If you are currently using open source data tools, we would love to hear about how you use these tools, what data you analyze and what problems you solve. So we can estimate the number of people who will attend, please register and RSVP on the meetup page: http://www.meetup.com/PyData-Calgary/events/229495202/ Agenda 6:00 pm – Doors Open/Networking/Introductions 6:15 pm – PyData Calgary Group Introduction 6:30 pm – Presentation(s) • Brief introduction to the PyData stack – a quick tour of the modules and tools available, how they fit together and why use PyData. • User stories and examples – Short presentations from new and experienced users describing how they use PyData or what they would like to do.
