An Introduction to Django Web Development with Python

Toronto, Ontario Canada

On Wednesday, August 19, 2020 at 10:00 a.m., Suho Kang will present “An Introduction to Django Web Development with Python”. Day & Time: Wednesday, August 19, 2020 10:00 a.m. – 11:00 a.m. Speaker: Suho Kang Organizer: IEEE Toronto WIE, Magnetics Chapter Location: Virtual – Zoom Contact: Seyed M. Reza Dibaj, Maryam Davoudpour Abstract: Django is a Python Web framework that encourages rapid development and clean design. So many functionalities are already built in this framework by experienced developers, so you do not have to re-invent the wheel, and Django will take care of those hassles for you. In our event, we will be building a basic Django Web Application from scratch in a hands-on approach. At the end of this course, you will be familiar with how to make a virtual environment, Django installation process, an HTTP request handling, and a CSS file and image file importing steps. (Requirements: The requirements are knowing the basic python, HTML, and CSS, and the recommended platform consists of anaconda (preferred), Python3, and the installed git bash on your system.) It is highly recommended to participate in Getting Started with Python and Applied Data Science with pandas, before attending this event.

Applied Data Science with pandas

Toronto, Ontario Canada

On Tuesday, August 18, 2020 at 10:00 a.m., Rafael Afonso Silva will present “Applied Data Science with pandas”. Date & Time: Tuesday, August 18, 2020 10:00 a.m. – 11:00 a.m. Speaker: Rafael Afonso Silva Organizer: IEEE Toronto WIE, Magnetics Chapter Location: Virtual – Zoom Contact: Seyed M. Reza Dibaj, Maryam Davoudpour Abstract: Pandas is a fast, powerful, flexible and easy to use environment on top of the Python programming language. It is an open-source data analysis and manipulation tool, which has made our life easier in the Data Science world. If you work or intend to work with data using Python, you need to know pandas, either for Data Analysis, Data Science or Machine Learning. In our workshop, we will provide a hands-on introduction to the pandas library and will learn how to use its amazing features to extract, analyze and manipulate our data from different data sources.
