Two Python online courses (Level 1 & 2) by Long Nguyen in October hosted by McNeel Europe



Python Level 1 online course: October 12-13, 2020
Python Level 2 online course: October 14-16, 2020
10 AM–5 PM CET
Hosted on Zoom by McNeel Europe 


McNeel Europe presents Long Nguyen, research associate at ICD Stuttgart, for two Python online workshops on October 12-13, 14-16, 2020.

Python is an increasingly popular programming language used in many fields: 3D modeling, web programming, scientific computing, artificial intelligence, etc. As a modern programming language, the language has a simple and clean syntax, making it very accessible to beginners.

Thanks to Rhino and Grasshopper’s official support of Python, you can programmatically access its powerful 3D modeling environment, including all the essential features of its advanced NURBS engine. This opens up many new exciting possibilities, such as:
  • Building simple scripts/tools that automate repetitive modeling tasks, boosting efficiency
  • Developing and customizing tools and workflow specific to your team's needs
  • Programming advanced design algorithms that are not possible with standard out-of-the-box tools
  • Using Python as a creative design tool
  • Interfacing Rhino and Grasshopper with other software programs

Python Level 1 course: (No knowledge of programming or scripting required, only Rhino and Grasshopper)

  • Intro to Python fundamental programming concepts: variable, data, data types, conditional statements, loops, data structure
  • The Python code editor in Rhino and Grasshopper
  • Creating and debugging simple Rhino commands using Python, etc.
  • Intro to RhinoCommon library
  • Simple creation and editing of points, vectors, curves, and surfaces

Python Level 2 course: (Requires familiarity with Python programming language)

  • Understanding the pros and cons of using RhinoScriptSyntax vs. RhinoCommon
  • Working with RhinoCommon geometry: Curve, Mesh, Surface, BRep
  • Object-oriented programming in Python
  • Randomness
  • Generating and editing texts
  • Reading/writing files
  • Working with DataTree using Python
  • Persistent variables
  • Using Python with Grasshopper timer
  • Additional topics (if time allows) such as:
    • Recursion
    • Better coding experience using external editors
    • Topics requested by participants

Hello,

I am interested in taking the both courses, however I'm located in Mexico and I'm not sure if the hours will work for me. Are you offering this class offline, or weekend sessions? Thank you

If I decide to take the special offer for both classes as educator, does the 50% discount will apply.
Thx

Yes, also interested but in NY so the hours will be tough to make. I would rather purchase a recording if possible.

Hello,
I was wondering these courses offer some kind of certification after competition? I understand that the topics might be kind of basic but it would be nice anyway.
