PyNoon - Introductory Python Programming

PyNoon was originally run between November 2023 and March 2024 to up-skill people in the world’s most popular programming language: Python, which is used for automation, data science, web development, and much more.

PyNoon covers the fundamentals of the Python programming language and how to use Python to analyse and plot tabular data (e.g. spreadsheets) and to interact with web services and AI models.

AINoon logo AINoon - From Hype to Productivity

Generative AI is a powerful tool that individuals and businesses can leverage through services like ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, and Google’s Gemini. However, AI has limitations we’re not used to in other technologies, creating risks of misuse and over-trusting. There are also many concerns that AI raises - from practical issues of privacy and security to fears of artificial super-intelligences!

AINoon is a course to cut through the hype and give you practical hands-on experience using AI while providing you with understanding of AI’s strengths and limits to make good decisions about when and how to use it.

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

  • Confidently use AI in a variety of ways to improve productivity
  • Identify opportunities for incorporating AI into business solutions
  • Critically consider the strengths, limitations, and risks of AI, based on a solid foundation of what AI is and how it works

Most importantly, AINoon provides a forum for asking questions about AI and seeking assistance with your own use-cases.

SQLNoon - Avoiding SQL Hell

SQL queries are commonly mission critical for accurate reporting and analysis but all too often they are unintelligible, difficult to maintain, and potentially returning invalid results. In this 4-session course we look at strategies for improving your queries and practices around maintaining and documenting them and tracking changes.

Note - this course is not teaching SQL itself - it is expected that participants will already know how to write basic SQL queries.
