Topics	Review solutions to prior week's coding assignments Jupyter Notebooks
Required Readings	Driscoll, M. (n.d.) Jupyter Notebook: An Introduction. Real Python. Rule A, Birmingham A, Zuniga C, Altintas I, Huang S-C, Knight R, et al. (2019) Ten simple rules for writing and sharing computational analyses in Jupyter Notebooks. PLoS Comput Biol 15(7): e1007007.
Required Recordings	LinkedIn Learning Course -- Python Tools: Jupyter vs PyCharm This short video course provides a quick orientation that will help you understand the relationship between PyCharm and Jupyter. Be aware that it does discuss some features that we do not cover in our introductory course: debugger, version control, and profiling. These are short sections that are probably worth listening to anyway.
