NOTICE - Friday, March 20, 2026: In-person attendance is fully booked. Registration for in-person attendance is now closed. However, if you still wish to attend in-person, please contact the RCC by sending an email to support@rcc.fsu.edu.

We invite you to join the Research Computing Center for a free, all-day, hands-on Python programming boot camp. Python is a programming language used across diverse tech industry sectors and offers a uniquely streamlined coding experience.

This is an introductory course and no prior programming knowledge is necessary.

The bootcamp will be delivered in four sessions, with basic programming in the morning and more advanced topics in the afternoon.

We will be using the Research Computing Center's High Performance Computing (HPC) service during the bootcamp. If you don't have an account on the HPC, we will provide one for you during the workshop.
