▲Welcome to the [http://networkcollectiv.es/2014/03/09/community-data-science-workshops/ Community Data Workshops] (CDSW) — a series of four sessions designed to introduce some of the basic tools of programming and analysis of data
The CDSW were held between April 4th and May 31st in 2014 at the University of Washington, Seattle. This pages includes links to the curriculum we used so thats other can build on and learn from our curriculum.

Come to [http://uw.edu/maps/?cmu CMU] 104 by '''9:45am'''. You will need time to get settled and setup. We want to start lecturing promptly at 10am.
Please come prepared to start working in your Python interpreter during the lesson. If you are going to be bringing a different computer than the one you brough and setup last time, you will need to go through the setup section of the [[Community Data Science Workshops/Friday April 4th setup and tutorial|setup and tutorial session from the first Friday session]]. You don't need to do the tutorial or CodeAcademy lessons again unless you think that you could use a refresher. You can also skip the sections about installing ''Colorwall'' and ''Wordplay''. We won't be looking at those in this session.
To participate in the [[Community Data Science Workshops/May 3rd Twitter project|Twitter afternoon session]], you ''must'' have registered with Twitter as a developer before the session by following the [[Community Data Science Workshops/Twitter authentication setup|Twitter authentication setup instructions]]. If you did not do this, or if you tried but did not succeed, please attend one of the other two sessions instead.
* '''Morning, 10am-noon:''' [[Community Data Science Workshops/Saturday May 3rd lecture|A 2 hour lecture-based introduction to the web APIs]]
* '''Lunch, noon-1pm:''' We'll provide lunch!
* '''Afternoon, 1pm-3:30pm:''' [[Community Data Science Workshops/Saturday May 3rd projects|Python and API practice through short projects]]
* '''Wrap-up, 3:30pm-4pm:''' Wrap-up, next steps, and upcoming opportunities for learning and practicing Python
=== Session 3 (Saturday May 31st) ===

We won't be looking at those in this session.
In the lecture, we're going to be doing building some simple visualizations online in [http://docs.google.com Google Docs]. Please make sure you have a Google Account you can use for the session and poke around at and create a new Google Spreadsheet. I suspect that most of you are going to use Microsoft Excel, LibreOffice, Gnumeric, etc., in your work after the class but using Google Docs means that we'll all be using the same software during the lecture.

* '''Lunch, noon-1pm:''' We'll provide lunch! And not pizza this time!
