We assume that participants \nhave basic programming skills but do not know either Python or Julia.  We\nwill provide a comparison and overview of these languanges, including set up,\ninstallation and some useful libraries.\n\n\n### Instructions\n\n\n*  Before coming, please install [Anaconda Python](https://www.continuum.io/downloads) on your laptop\n\n    * Python + the main scientific libraries\n    * Free from http://continuum.io/downloads\n    * Choose the Python 3.5 version\n    * Make it your default Python distribution\n\n* Install [Julia](http://julialang.org/downloads)\n\n    * Follow instructions for your OS\n    * Some extra info [here](http://julialang.org/downloads/platform.html) if you need it\n\nPlease be sure to bring your laptop to the workshop.  We will have a trouble shooting session at the start.\n\nPlease make sure that you have wireless access.\n\n### Notebooks\n\n* [AR1 simulation in Julia](http://nbviewer.jupyter.org/github/QuantEcon/NUS_workshop_2016/blob/master/ar1_plots_julia.ipynb)\n* [AR1 simulation in Python](http://nbviewer.jupyter.org/github/QuantEcon/NUS_workshop_2016/blob/master/ar1_plots_python.ipynb)\n\n### Resources\n\n* [QuantEcon lectures](http://lectures.quantecon.org/)\n* [Cheat sheet](http://cheatsheets.quantecon.org/)\n* [Forum](http://discourse.quantecon.org/)\n\n\n\n### Get the Files\n\nTo access the files in this repositiory, either \n\n* [use git](https://git-scm.com), if you know what that is, or\n\n* download the zip file (see top right of page)\n\n\n### Other\n\nAlso consider installing \n\n* a modern browser (Chrome / Firefox / Vivaldi) \n\n* a good text editor such as [Atom](https://atom.io/)\n\n* [Git](https://git-scm.com/downloads)\n\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fquantecon%2Fnus_workshop_2016","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fquantecon%2Fnus_workshop_2016","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fquantecon%2Fnus_workshop_2016/lists"}
