About

During the Programming Cafe, we will share knowledge about programming through short presentations and also help each other with challenges in working with code and data.

Background

The Programming Café is a ‘relaunch’ of the popular R Café external link community event that used to take place before the coronavirus outbreak. We are happy to broaden the event to include programming languages other than R.

Theme

Each Programming Café will have a special theme. The theme is a short presentation or demonstration of (maximum) half an hour. The presentations will be given by attendees of the Café. We are always looking for people who want to present something. Please send an email to Neha Moopen external linkif you want to give a presentation.

Who Can join?

Everyone is welcome at the Programming Café, as long as you like to code in R, Python or other programming languages. You can be of any skill level and at any stage in working with your code and data. You can be a researcher, student, or support staff at the UU, UMCU, or HU (or even from outside these institutions).

You can bring your programming problems to work on or discuss with the attendees. Even if you do not have an issue, you’re welcome at the Café - just to work on your code or try out the exercises that have been prepared for you.
