Welcome EdX students!

Oct 01 2012 Published by under Enthought Python Distribution, News, Python

Welcome to EPDFree EdX students! We are honored to partner with EdX to offer up a Python environment you can use for your studies. For those of you who don’t know, “EdX is a not-for-profit enterprise of its founding partners Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology that features learning designed specifically for interactive study via the web.”

We’ve always had a strong relationship with the academic community and are excited about accelerating the speed of science with our tools and consulting work. It’s exciting to know we will be a part of this ambitious initiative to train the next generation of scientists around the world. Good luck on those problem sets!

DataGotham…Complete!

Well, DataGotham is over. The conference featured a wide cross section of the data community in NYC. Talks spanned topics from “urban science” to “finding racism on FourSquare” to “creating an API for spaces.” Don’t worry, the videos will be online soon so you can investigate yourself. The organizers did a great job putting a conference of this size together on relatively short notice. Bravo NYC data crunchers!

One thing I somehow missed was a network graph created by the organizers to illustrate the tools used by attendees. I am happy to see python leading the way! The thickness of the edge indicates the number of people using both tools. It seems there are a lot of people trying to make Python and R “two great tastes that go great together.” I’m curious as to why more Python users aren’t using numpy and scipy. Food for thought…

Got tools?
