Introductory Tutorial to Numpy and Pandas for Data Analysis
0
In this tutorial, I present an overview with many examples of the use of Numpy and Pandas for data analysis. Beginners in the field of data analysis can find It incredibly helpful, and at the same time, anyone who already has experience in data analysis and needs a refresher can find value in it. I discuss the use of Numpy for analyzing 1D and 2D multidimensional data and an introduction on using Pandas to manipulate CSV files.

Fundamentals of R Programming
0
This course is an introduction to the R programming language and covers the fundamental concepts needed to operate in the R environment. This course was taught for the ACCESS community on September 26, 2023, but the materials for the course are still available on the ACES cluster and can be completed independently. All materials are presented as learnR notebooks and cover several topics, including data types, variables, built-in functions, data structures, and plotting.

Info about retiring of R GIS packages rgdal, rgeos, maptools in 2023
0
R GIS packages "rgdal", "rgeos", and "maptools" are package set to be archived and no longer supported by end of 2023. Many other R GIS packages are build on top of these packages, including "sp" and "raster". The packages recommended as replacement for "sp" is "sf" and the replacement for "raster" is "terra". Below are links to published articles regarding this transition. Additionally, I am including links to the documentation for the new packages recommended to be used "sf" and "terra".
C Programming
0
"These notes are part of the UW Experimental College course on Introductory C Programming. They are based on notes prepared (beginning in Spring, 1995) to supplement the book The C Programming Language, by Brian Kernighan and Dennis Ritchie, or K&R as the book and its authors are affectionately known. (The second edition was published in 1988 by Prentice-Hall, ISBN 0-13-110362-8.) These notes are now (as of Winter, 1995-6) intended to be stand-alone, although the sections are still cross-referenced to those of K&R, for the reader who wants to pursue a more in-depth exposition." C is a low-level programming language that provides a deep understanding of how a computer's memory and hardware work. This knowledge can be valuable when optimizing apps for performance or when dealing with resource-constrained environments.C is often used as the foundation for creating cross-platform libraries and frameworks. Learning C can allow you to develop libraries that can be used across different platforms, including iOS, Android, and desktop environments.
ConnectCI
0
Connect.Cybinfrastructure is a family of portals, each representing a program that is serving a segment of the research computing and data community. Each portal provides program-specific information, as well a custom "view" into a common database. The portal was originally developed to support project workflows and a knowledge base of self service learning resources for the Northeast Cyberteam. Subsequently, it was expanded to provide support to multiple cyberteams and other research computing communities of practice. We welcome additional communities, please contact us if you are interested in participating. Central to the Portal is an extensive and ever-evolving tagging infrastructure which informs every aspect of the Portal. The tag taxonomy was initially developed by the Northeast Cyberteam to categorize subject matter relevant to practitioners of Research Computing Facilitation and is ever changing due to the frequent introduction of new technology in domains that characterize the field of research computing.

Why 'N How: Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging:
0
The Why & How seminar series is designed to introduce research assistants, graduate students, and postdoctoral and clinical fellows – really, anyone who is interested – to the many tools used in medical imaging. These include software tools and most of the major imaging modalities wielded by investigators (MRI, PET, EEG, MEG, optical, TMS and others). As the name of the series suggests, the talks cover both the reasons researchers might need a particular tool and the nuts and bolts of how to apply it. You can watch videos of the overviews below.
