\begin{frame}{About the Workshop}

  \begin{description}

	\item[Session 1] Sat 14:00--15:55

	\item[Session 2] Sat 16:05--18:00

	\item[Session 3] Sun 14:00--15:55

	\item[Session 4] Sun 16:05--18:00 

  \end{description}

  \begin{block}{Goal of the workshop}

	At the end of this program, successful participants will be able to use python as their scripting and problem solving language. Aimed at Engg. students--focus on basic numerics and plotting-- but should serve a similar purpose for others. 

  \end{block}

\end{frame}

\begin{frame}{Checklist}

  Let us verify that all of us are having the same (similar) tools and environment

  \begin{description}

	\item[python] Type python at the command line. Do you see version 2.5 or later?

	\item[IPython] Is IPython available?

	\item[Editor] Which editor? scite, vim, emacs, \ldots

  \end{description}

\end{frame}

\section{Overview}

\begin{frame}{Session 1}

  \begin{itemize}

	\item Introduction and motivation

	\item Using the interpreter(s)

	\item Basic data types: int, float, string

	\item Basic data structures: list

	\item Basic console IO: \texttt{raw\_input(), print}

    \item Basic control flow: \texttt{if, while}

	\item Problem set 1

    \item Functions $\rightarrow$ Problem set 2

    \item lists, \texttt{for}  $\rightarrow$ Problem set 3

\end{frame}

\begin{frame}

  \frametitle{Why Python?}

  \begin{itemize}

  \item Designed to be readable and easy to use

  \item High level, interpreted, modular, OO

  \item Much faster development cycle

  \item Powerful interactive environment

  \item Rapid application development

  \item Rich standard library and modules

  \item Interfaces well with C++, C and FORTRAN

  \item \alert{More than a math package $\Rightarrow$ some extra work compared to math packages}

  \end{itemize}

\end{frame}

\begin{frame}

  \frametitle{Use cases}

  \begin{itemize}

  \item NASA: Space Shuttle Mission Design

  \item AstraZeneca: Collaborative Drug Discovery

  \item ForecastWatch.com: Helps Meteorologists

  \item Industrial Light \& Magic: Runs on Python

  \item Zope: Commercial grade Toolkit

  \item Plone: Professional high feature CMS

  \item RedHat: install scripts, sys-admin tools

  \item Django: A great web application framework

  \item Google: A strong python shop

  \end{itemize}

\end{frame}

\begin{frame}

  \frametitle{To sum up, python is\ldots}

  \begin{itemize}

  \item dynamically typed, interpreted $\rightarrow$ rapid testing/prototyping

  \item powerful, very high level

  \item has full introspection 

  \item Did we mention powerful?

  \end{itemize}

  \begin{block}{But \ldots}

    may be wanting in performance. specialised resources such as SWIG, \alert{Cython} are available

\section{Python}

\subsection{Getting Started}

\begin{frame}[fragile]{At the prompt, type the following}

   \begin{lstlisting}

>>> print 'Hello Python' 

>>> print 3124 * 126789

>>> 1786 % 12

>>> 3124 * 126789

>>> a = 3124 * 126789

>>> big = 12345678901234567890 ** 3

>>> verybig = big * big * big * big 

>>> 12345**6, 12345**67, 12345**678

  \end{lstlisting}

\end{frame}

\begin{frame}[fragile]{At the prompt, type the following}

   \begin{lstlisting}

>>> s = 'Hello '

>>> p = 'World'

>>> s + p 

>>> s * 12 

>>> s * s

>>> s + p * 12, (s + p)* 12

>>> s * 12 + p * 12

>>> 12 * s 

    \end{lstlisting}

\end{frame}

\begin{frame}[fragile]{At the prompt, type the following}

  \begin{lstlisting}

>>> 17/2

>>> 17/2.0

>>> 17.0/2

>>> 17.0/8.5

>>> int(17/2.0)

>>> float(17/2)

>>> str(17/2.0)

>>> round( 7.5 )

a = 1.1

a = "Now I am a string!"

      \end{lstlisting}
