Live Coding - Rain Risk

PyDataMCR is a strictly professional event, as such professional behaviour is expected. We welcome everyone with an interest in data.

PyDataMCR is a chapter of PyData, an educational program of NumFOCUS and thus abides by the NumFOCUS Code of Conduct https://pydata.org/code-of-conduct.html.

Live Coding ==========================================================

"The ship's navigation computer seems to be malfunctioning; rather than giving a route directly to safety, it produced extremely circuitous instructions. When the captain uses the PA system to ask if anyone can help, you quickly volunteer."

In this event, we will be doing a live coding challenge. This entails watching somebody break down a programming problem, and optionally you can code along too. You can offer your comments and questions and the programmer or other viewers can share their thoughts.

We will introduce what Python is, what variables are and build up to complicated data structures. Whether a beginner or Python professional, expect a social event where you can ask questions, offer better solutions and discuss a fun prompt.

We will be making use of https://replit.com/ , a Python editor that requires no installations for beginners.

If you are interested in exploring the challenge we will be attempting the Rain Risk Advent of Code problem from last Christmas. https://adventofcode.com/2020/day/12
