Re: [DIYbio] Reference. Introduction to Programming for Bioscientists: A Python-Based Primer

Interesting...

in the first minute of scanning, I see that they go against
naming-conventions declared in PEP8 (one of the figures mentions using
camelCase for variable names, which PEP8 advises to use for Class
naming, keeping variables non-camel-case.) (looking further into
detail, even their examples have functions/methods which are
camelCase)

It is nice they mention regex in reasonable detail...

Too bad they didn't mention list/set/dict comprehensions... they're so
convenient and can beautify chunks of code into single lines.


Hopefully this gets some biologists to start programming!
