[Astro] [CAPT] Capt Coding Club

[Lauren Gaughan]

Hello CCC'ers,

TLDR: CCC will start on Wednesday the 1st of October at 11 am. Please fill in this form<https://forms.gle/JYVbcqgyLs9etWzt6> to give any topic suggestions or volunteer to speak. The GitHub repo is linked here<https://github.com/Fives555555/capt-coding-club>.

We're going to resurrect the Capt Coding Club this October (beginning on the 1st) with some of our previous topics 🎊🎉. This will be helpful for our new first years and for those who couldn't attend previously. After we retread the previous sessions, the floor is open to you for suggesting some useful ideas and anything you want to learn about!

Please don't hesitate fill out this form<https://forms.gle/Bdh5vuwgEhaenMhp8> to provide some topic suggestions and please volunteer to cover a topic if you feel you have knowledge to share.

The club was very successful last year and we believe it's a good place for both the Astronomy and Particle Cosmology groups to spend some time together and share expertise. (Maybe it will lead to some collaboration...)

Currently the plan is to continue as before, discussing useful topics and tools for those of us who code in our PhDs and Postdoc positions. There is also potential for you to share more details of the coding aspect of your research as that can be something we focus on less when speaking in seminars. Again we will open up the floor for anyone who has some coding issues they want help with.

Since most of us are in the office on Wednesdays we are going to meet at 11 am and I have booked A113 until the end of January for us. If enough people want me to move the time I will, just let me know if you can't join us.

All previous and suggested future materials can and will be found on the GitHub repository<https://github.com/Fives555555/capt-coding-club>.

Topics we'll definitely cover again: Linux, Git/GitHub, VSCode, SSH, Making Numpy Fast, Making Matplotlib Pretty.

Topics we plan to go over: Using Captain/Ohdar, Using the HPC (Ada), Using Pandas and Astropy, MCMC, Mathematica.

Hope to see you soon,
Lauren
