In preparation for the Geoscience Hackathon over the weekend, we’ll be hosting a bootcamp '€” open to anyone who wants to find out more about scientific computing, especially in the SciPy stack, and building web applications with JavaScript and HTML5.

This will be a hands-on event! Bring a laptop.

You will learn how to build a Python web application in the Google App Engine framework. Some things we will cover: 

• The scientific Python stack and rapid prototyping.
• Managing code in a hackathon: GitHub.
• Front end: HTML5, CSS, JavaScript.
• The other stuff: graphics, domains, hosting, etc.
