[VBC-SCIENCE] Regular expressions course announcement

by Aszodi,Andras

Dear Colleagues, I have the pleasure to announce my course on regular expressions. Regular expressions can be used to search for patterns in textual data, including nucleic acid and protein sequences. Colleagues who write their own data analysis scripts are expected to benefit most. For details please visit https://training.vbcf.ac.at/training/regex.php . WHAT? - Introduction to regular expressions. - Regular expressions with Python. - Regular expressions with R. - UNIX regular expression tools. WHEN? Friday 17th October from 09:00 to 13:00. ATTENDANCE: Physical only because I cannot correct typos remotely :-). Location: IMP E-016 seminar room. PREREQUISITES: No programming experience is required to understand the basics. Most of the practical examples will be in Python, some in R and in Bash, so if you know one of these languages then you'll be able to profit a bit more. HOW MUCH? Free of charge. HOW TO REGISTER? Check your calendar. Make sure your PI agrees to your participation in the course. Then head to https://training.vbcf.ac.at/training/schedule.php , click on the appropriate Register button and fill out the little form. Note that there's a registration open for the Bash course, too! (the best is to sign up for both ;-) ) GENERAL RULES: Review them carefully at https://training.vbcf.ac.at/training/practical_information.php . QUESTIONS? Mail me please.

For details please check out https://training.vbcf.ac.at/training/bash.php . TOPICS: - How to work with data? Variables, arrays, shell arithmetics. - When to do what? Logical decisions ("if" statement). Repeat if necessary: iteration loops. - Code organisation with Bash functions. - Know where your data are: file path manipulations. - Make user-friendly scripts: command-line argument processing, simple text-based menus. DATE/TIME: Thursday 16th October, from 09:00 to 13:00. ATTENDANCE: Physical only because I cannot correct typos remotely :-). Location: IMP E-016 seminar room. PREREQUISITES: - Familiarity with the UNIX command line. If you attended my UNIX introductory course ( https://training.vbcf.ac.at/training/unix.php ) then you are well prepared. - Good typing skills. You will develop several scripts during the course so let's keep the number of typos to a minimum :-) - Programming knowledge is NOT required, I will explain everything. COST: Free of charge. HOW TO REGISTER: Check your calendar and discuss with your PI.
