This tutorial will introduce the participant to Python tools for data analysis and visualization. The tools covered include NumPy, Numba, Blaze, Pandas, Bokeh and Matplotlib. These tools cover the whole data analysis pipeline, with data ingestion (Blaze, NumPy), manipulation (Numba, NumPy, Pandas), visualization (Bokeh and Matplotlib) and publish to a web-service (Bokeh). A brief introduction to the Python language itself will also be included (though some python experience is strongly suggested). By the end of this workshop, a participant can expect to be able to load a large dataset, do basic analysis and construct web-enabled interactive visualizations.

If you are planning on attending this workshop, please visit our GitHub repo and download the listed software to reduce setup time at the workshop. (You can still attend if you don't download the software in advance, but you can get started faster if you do.)
