+# Python lesson outline
+
+## Targets for the course
+
+- Structure your code (functions and modules, everything else is out of scope)
+- Think about possible errors
+- document, document, document
+- use version control
+
+## Assumptions
+
+90 minute blocks
+
+- 1 block shell
+- 1 block git
+- 4-5 blocks of python
+
+## DAY 1
+
+### Session AM1 Intro/Lightning talks
+
+### Session AM2 Shell
+
+### Session PM1 GIT
+
+### Session PM2 Python Intro (basic overview)
+- python+anaconda+conda+jupyter+history
+- operators, data structures (tuples, lists, dicts, nparrays, panda.df, etc)
+- object types (string, number, boolean, complex, etc)
+- provided functions + methods, atrributes
+- control flows: loops + conditions
+- numpy
+- read file, simple plot (or in session PM2)
+
+## DAY 2 AM
+
+### Session AM1 Python (structuring code, defensive programming, using prepared ts files)
+- write function + module
+- put under version control
+- simple test (assert)
+- documentation
+- write script + call from bash
+- traceback, errors
+
+not covered: closures, argpars, numba
+
+### Session AM2: Time series, functions, plotting
+- reading + understanding documentation of functions
+
+Global temperature average development 1750-2010
+http://berkeleyearth.lbl.gov/auto/Global/Raw_TAVG_complete.txt
+
+- download file (optional: call shell with wget from python/R)
+- read, process
+- moving average
+- plot with uncertainty band
+- write function (exercise!)
+
+## DAY 2 PM
+
+### Session PM1: higher dimensional (spatial) data, advanced plotting + cartography, application of aquired knowledge
+gridded data Europe: 
+
+- read netcdf file
+- plot map of one time slice 
+- now compare plot with given cuteplot function by Joachim
+- extract time series Potsdam
+- compare with global average from Berkeley
+
+### Session PM2: Git in practice (optional if we ran out of time)
+- use git: final commit
+- create github/gitlab account + create repos + add remote
+- git push + inspect online
+- github/gitlab release
+- outro, feedback
+
