These webinars are designed to provide a path from little python knowledge to contributing to PyMC. You should start with the event that best suits yourself:

• Non-Python nor PyMC users Introduction to array operations in Python

• Python but not PyMC users Introduction to Probabilistic Programming with PyMC

• PyMC users Contributing to PyMC and/or Contributing to PyMC Documentation

And not only that, are you wondering what is PyMC? What is it used for? to decide if you’d be interested in learning and contributing to PyMC?

We also have a talk for you! In the talk embedded below, Oriol Abril Pla gives an overview of the Bayesian paradigm, probabilistic programming and PyMC, covering also a couple case studies to showcase its use in real scenarios.

Only for people who need additional help with python, but are already familiar with at least one programming language

This is an old (but useful) resource, it uses PyMC3, check Contributing to PyMC for an introduction to PyMC 4.0
