Overview
“Learning programming languages is over-rated. Learning programming is under-rated.”
In the Aerospace profession there is a lot of interest in learning programming languages, and not enough emphasis on proficient use of programming languages.
Many are attracted to Python as a popular, easy to learn general purpose programming language. Most engineers can easily start Python scripting leveraging their prior programming experiences. Yet Python being an interpreted language is inefficient with the traditional programming approaches. Many fail to take full advantage of Python’s powerful, expressive capabilities to reduce the amount of coding, and to speed up computations.
Furthermore, Python is unsuited for extensive numerical aerospace computations without the NumPy add-on library. Engineers needs to appreciate the features of NumPy and other libraries to proficiently use it for numerical computations.
In this popular course, taught for years at Boeing, the Python programming language is introduced. And using its syntax, structures and libraries, students will learn to elegantly implement efficient algorithms.
Students will be required use a computer for the class with Anaconda Python Distribution (www.anaconda.com) loaded onto it.

Instructor
Dr. John Ho has been involved in engineering software development and maintenance for his entire career. Fifteen years ago, he selected Python as his primary programming language, and developed a dozen projects using Python; as well as using it for data analysis and machine learning. He actively coaches engineers at Boeing in Python and effective use of the powerful features provided by the Python ecosystem and strongly believes in proactive software quality assurance and documentation best practices.
