Between #Matlab and #Python, which one would you recommend to learn, for a student who wants to learn programming (from scratch) to do data analysis? And why?

I am conflicted because I think Matlab is maybe slightly more straightforward to learn, but Python should be more useful in the long term (I know both and need to decide which one to teach my student).

I think answers might differ depending on whether you're in academia or not so I'm also asking about your occupation in the poll:

#Academia #AcademicChatter #Coding #Programming #Neuroscience (in this case)

  • I recommend Matlab (as an academic) (1%, 3 votes)
  • I recommend Python (as an academic) (54%, 85 votes)
  • I recommend Matlab (as a non-academic) (0%, 1 vote)
  • I recommend Python (as a non-academic) (38%, 61 votes)
  • don't know / see results (4%, 7 votes)
157 voters. Poll end: in 2 days


A new version of #rtcirqus is available. The only change is that I added a -v|--version CLI option to quickly see which version of rtcirqus you're running.

Any #Python newbies out there? (Or experts that need to teach Python)
Would you have a specific online tutorial to recommend for someone who wants to learn Python without any prior programming experience? One that also explains how to install it ?

I was thinking of something like this: python.land/python-tutorial but I only had a quick look and would like some informed suggestions 🙏
Edit: OK, maybe not that one, seems too complicated (moving on to classes early) and not super clear.

(It is not for me, but to recommend to a student so they can learn the basics on their own then start working on ephys data analysis with me)
