The CDSW have been held twice in Seattle in Spring and Fall 2014 and more than forty people have volunteered their weekends to teach more than 140 people to program in Python, to build dataset from Web APIs, and to ask and answer questions using these data.▼

The following links are to the curriculum we used so thats other can build on and learn:

The sessions are schedule for one Friday evening and three Saturdays all day. Each session involves a period for lecture and technical demonstrations in the morning. This is followed by a lunch. The rest of the day consists of self-directed work on programming and data science projects supported by more experienced mentors.
'''Introduction to Programming (Session 1)''' — Programming is an essential tool for data science and is useful for solving many other problems. The goal of this session will be to introduce programming in the Python programming language. Each participant will leave having solved a real problem and will have built their first real
'''Importing Data from Web APIs (Session 2)''' — An important step in doing data science is collecting data. The goal of this session will be to teach participants how to get data from the public [[:wikipedia:Web API|application programming interfaces]] (“APIs”) common to many social media and online communities. Although, we will use the APIs provided by Wikipedia and Twitter in the session, the principles and techniques are common to many online communities.
