The form asks for your name, email, department, your Python and git experience, whether you will attend in person or online, whether you would like to be considered for partial salary support, and a confirmation that you will complete Getting Started before Session 1.
Seats are filled in the order people register. If all 30 seats are taken you are added to a waitlist and offered a place if someone cancels. We will email you to confirm your seat, and the online link goes to confirmed registrants only.
Limited partial salary support is available. Answering yes on the form does not guarantee it.
