I have currently been pondering this and have constructed a short list which I will be assessing in January (and hopefully publishing book reviews)
Practical computing for biologists - Haddock Computing for biologists - Libeskind-Hadas Python for biologists - Jones Biological data management with Python - Via The collaborative review will be performed by me as a lecturer, a postgrad student and undergrads taking an introductory python course. ..d -----Original Message----- From: Discuss [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Peter Steinbach Sent: 08 December 2015 14:50 To: [email protected] Subject: [Discuss] further reading Hi to all, I was asked again recently, what books and/or websites I could recommend for learning to program in python. while thinking about the answer, I pondered the software carpentry website(s) and "only" found this: http://software-carpentry.org/bib/reading.html which is good to have and there potentially is more hidden on software- carpentry.org. I however wondered, if we could add a literature section to our lessons which would comprise curated resources both in terms of reading (i.e. books or weblinks) and websites for further self-paced learning. The web is full of material that could pick up our learners when they leave a boot camp. It doesn't have to be a long list, but at least something that some instructors could recommend or have tried and could say that it was a positive learning experience. Before sending a PR, I wanted to have your opinion about it! Maybe something like this was left-out on purpose in the past?
