Our first boot camp for women in science and engineering is just wrapping up in Boston.
It's gone very well—we'll be posting a summary soon,
but in the meanwhile,
here are a few things attendees can do as follow-up:
Software Carpentry has video tutorials
for self-paced online learning that go into more depth.
Get real-time help on IRC channels (all found on the Freenode network at irc.freenode.net):
Python:
#python
SciPy:
#scipy
Git:
#git

#R
Chatzilla,
the Firefox plugin,
is a good IRC client.
Join a meetup group:
Boston Python User's Group
(The advanced room instructor, Jessica McKellar, is an organizer for this meetup group.)
Come to PyData Boston 2013,
July 27-28 2013
at Microsoft NERD in Cambridge, MA.
This event "... address[es] the large-scale data management challenges affecting all genres of science and industry."
