The Central Ohio Python User's Group

About Us

We are a friendly and enthusiastic group of Central Ohio Pythonistas. We meet most Thursday evenings for informal dojos, occasionally for lunch on various days of the week, and have a monthly meeting usually on the last Monday of the month. To have lunch at your favorite place, announce the time and place on the mailing list.

After our monthly meetings we like to adjourn to some nearby eatery to enjoy good food, good drinks, and good conversation.

We have code on our github repository, especially of challenges where people solved problems using Python in very different ways.

Weekly Dojos

We meet most Thursday evenings:

Dojos are informal Python group study sessions where everyone interested in Python gathers to learn about Python, help others with Python, or just hang out. Everyone interested in Python from complete beginners, to experts, and everyone in between are welcome to the Dojos. Bring your Python questions and problems. Digressions from Python are common.

NumPy and Pandas

NumPy is an open source library used for working with arrays. We will discuss why NumPy is so powerful and how NumPy relates to Pandas and Matplotlib. We will learn easy to use mathematical functions and apply them to real life investment example scenarios. We will conclude the March session by applying our NumPy skills with an investment game. May the fastest programmer / investor win!

Ahead of the presentation, please download the Jupyter notebook (will be available on Sunday 2024-03-24) and install NumPy, Pandas and Matplotlib. See download instructions below:

We meet on the last Monday of most months. Presentations are given by members and friends of this group. If you would like to do a presentation (small or large) on a Python topic, please contact John Cassidy.
