What are you excited to learn?

Share something you are excited to learn or do as part of the DART program!

[r3m0chop]

Reproducible data analysis techniques with Jupyter notebooks, pandas, and beyond! :-D

An example of such interest specifics might include ways of streamlining the design and development of Jupyter notebooks, as they can become quite cumbersome to navigate & maintain when editing multiple blocks of code throughout the notebook.

Looking for recommended best practices, including, but not limited to:

• collections of multiple notebooks to support complex problems
• custom python libraries to support the notebooks
• alternate development environments to browsers or VS Code.

Thanks!

[drelliche]

Awesome!

[drelliche]

I am excited to see how everyone learns, and to learn from everyone!

[dustinrbunch]

I am curious to see how this project to train DS works out. I like the pathways idea!

[pm0kjp]

I'm excited to use a part of GitHub (Discussions) I don't normally use 😄

[hanmar10]

I am an absolute beginner, so I am excited get started and learn as much as I can!

[drelliche]

Welcome!

[nboyd2107]

same here! Hoping this sparks an interest to go a little deeper into data analytics as well as coding

[300mito]

I am excited to do community practice using this GitHub!

[CaffeinatedRabbit]

Absolute beginner at GitHub and also a novice at data science, so I'm thrilled to learn whatever I can from this project!

[pm0kjp]

You did the first part, signing up! Welcome 😄

[shusters]

The tools I need to advance further in my career and better coordinate the collection and quality of data from our multi-site research projects

[asset25]

Data analysis techniques in R and Python so that I can be more efficient and effective in how I analyze data - glad to be part of the cohort!

[pm0kjp]

I'm excited to learn about other resources that this community shares with us... this will make our next round of modules richer and more diverse!

[LivioAzzoni]

looking forward to explore using new tools for data science. I currently am limited to JMP, PowerQuery/M and some SQL

[jasminebro]

I am excited to learn data analysis techniques focused on current genomics data, machine learning and SQL.

[abhijit-bcm]

I am thrilled to be a part of this program. My main focus is to learn problem-solving techniques in coding.

[taylorwuselman]

I am very excited to apply my knowledge of R, RMarkdown, and R Notebooks to Python, especially to reproducible data analysis. Working with fairly large datasets in my research, I am also excited to learn from others about their data management practices and in learning how to use tools like SQL.

[vaughnv1]

I am looking forward to learning about data analysis and anything else this program has to offer! I am a beginner, so I look forward to learning anything my pathway includes.

[Ecla528]

I'm thrilled to have some personalized pathways to update my data analytic skills and bring some new skills to my team and research.

[rosemm]

I'm excited to get a little better at bash, since that's something that scares me :)

[jbyemerw]

I am a beginner, so I am excited to dip my toes into the world of data science.

[DrNicholasFlamel]

Keen to update my skills to be able to use more "contemporary" tools.

[rosemm]

I love your GitHub handle, by the way! Harry Potter fan?

[DrNicholasFlamel]

haha Yes! but honestly I first learnt of him when I read Umberto Eco's Foucault's Pendulum in high school. To this day I maintain that Dan Brown "borrowed" the da vinci code idea from Umberto.

[rosemm]

I've never read Foucault's Pendulum, and I actually had no idea Flamel is a historical character; I had thought he was an invention of Rowling's. Thank you for triggering a super fun trip down a wikipedia rabbit hole :)

[ariweintraub]

Very excited to join this CoP and learn new skills, especially SQL!

[gwynnaf]

I'm excited to learn new coding skills like Python! I love the set up of having different pathways

[loopydna]

I'm excited to get reacquainted with R. I was attending an R workshop at CHOP pre-pandemic and really enjoyed it 😄

[zuhalormanoglu]

I'm excited to brush up on Python and get more comfortable using R.

[kevlumbus]

I am looking forward to learning more Python and being able to write my first python script

[j-merenstein]

I am so excited to learn how to use git and improve my version control skills. I hope to actually feel comfortable sharing my code with others by the end of this program!

[rosemm]

I'm so excited for you to learn git! There's a bit of a steep learning curve at the beginning (the language for it is just so confusing), but I LOVE using git now, and my git history has saved me more than once.
Regarding showing your code to other people, no matter how experienced I get I'm always a little nervous for other people to see my code, but I think of this comic ("Code Quality" by xkcd) and that helps me laugh and take myself a little less seriously :)

[maltenform]

For me, the twofer is:

1. Get some more perspective on tools I use infrequently or superficially
2. Get more involvement in the wider CHOP data science community

[sanjiv999]

really excited to learn about how to make my work more reproducible and how to extend leverage expertise of others in the CHOP data science community.

[SpaceKittenn]

I am excited to learn about data science and how it can help me in my career

[JennyLuong]

I am excited to learn new things in general, but in particular more statistics and data management.

[MA-223]

I'm new data analytics and coding so, very excited to be learning all of it! I can't wait to be able to write my own script!

[pm0kjp]

How's it going so far? I hope you're having fun!!!

[MA-223]

Still having fun! I'm realising that there are nuances to writing python scripts...e.g Capital letters and spaces vs no space but very satisfying when it all works!
