[WSG20] Study Group to Meet Daily in the Month of April

Wolfram Study Groups (WSG) are a new special program, set up to be fun, directed and incremental online learning resources. There is something for everyone, whether you are a student, an educator/parent looking for quality resources, or an adult interested in learning new skills. The group that is getting started now offers a daily opportunity to meet online with others interested in building Wolfram Language skills. Each session will include short lesson videos from the interactive course An Elementary Introduction to the Wolfram Language, based on Stephen Wolfram’s book, with experts on hand to explain concepts in more depth. We plan to include multiparadigm data science and other application topics too. Sessions run Monday through Friday, 12-1pm US EDT (4-5pm GMT). A certificate of program completion will be awarded to participants who attend online sessions and pass auto-graded online quizzes. Sign up and receive email reminders of upcoming sessions, or join a session in progress.

Thank you so much for organise this Wolfram Study Groups: I find it really useful in order to get a Level I certification in programming in the Wolfram Language.

New Study Group dates have been added for May! This new Study Group begins Monday, May 4, and will go beyond beginner-level topics and cover practical programming, working with data, building simple interfaces, expressions, assignments, patterns, user-defined functions and package development. Earn a certificate of program completion through attendance and quizzes. Wolfram Technology Certified Level I will be awarded to participants who successfully complete assigned problems. Sign up to reserve your spot and receive email reminders.

Correct, no Study Group today. Instead, we encourage everyone to attend the New in Wolfram Language 12.1 webinar, starting at 12pm US EDT (5pm GMT) today. Jon McLoone will share an engaging overview presentation with us, and we'll dive into specific topics in detail at upcoming Wednesday webinars. Join by logging in here: https://wolfr.am/LOBWol90

Do you mean something like the following?

h = 10;
l = 6;
w = 4;
r = 0.2;
Graphics3D[{Opacity[0.2], 
  Parallelepiped[{0, 0, 0}, {{w, 0, 0}, {0, l, 0}, {0, 0, h}}], 
  Opacity[0.5], Red, 
  Table[Sphere[{RandomReal[w - r], RandomReal[l - r], 
     RandomReal[h - r]}, r], 240]}, Axes -> True, 
 AxesStyle -> GrayLevel[0], ViewPoint -> {1.3, -2.4, 2.}]

enter image description here

May be this is what you want:

h = 10;
l = 6;
w = 4;
r = 0.2;
atoms = Table[
   Sphere[{RandomReal[w - r], RandomReal[l - r], RandomReal[h - r]}, 
    r], 240];
Manipulate[
 Graphics3D[{Opacity[0.2], 
   Parallelepiped[{0, 0, 0}, {{w, 0, 0}, {0, l, 0}, {0, 0, h}}], 
   Opacity[0.5], Red, atoms[[1 ;; n]]}, Axes -> True, 
  AxesStyle -> GrayLevel[0], ViewPoint -> {1.3, -2.4, 2.}], {n, 0, 
  240, 1}]

I do have 2 questions, I tried doing get data from the internet like "lily" the flower, but it was a mess: here is the example tried.How does one actually get images of the flower "lily"as an example.

Import["<a href="https://images.search.yahoo.com/search/images;https://images.search.yahoo.com/search/images;ylt=\ A0geKLottpVe0NMA0RRXNyoA;_ylu=\ X3oDMTE0cTZhamZ0BGNvbG8DYmYxBHBvcwMxBHZ0aWQDQTA2MjJfMQRzZWMDcGl2cw--?\ p=lily&fr2=piv-web&fr=mcafee"]

My other question is there a command to to get the color coordinate function. Looking to get this plot I do have 2 questions, I tried doing get data from the internet like "lily" the flower, but it was a mess: here is the example tried.How does one actually get images of the flower "lily"as an example.

Import["<a href="https://images.search.yahoo.com/search/images;https://images.search.yahoo.com/search/images;ylt=\ A0geKLottpVe0NMA0RRXNyoA;_ylu=\ X3oDMTE0cTZhamZ0BGNvbG8DYmYxBHBvcwMxBHZ0aWQDQTA2MjJfMQRzZWMDcGl2cw--?\ p=lily&fr2=piv-web&fr=mcafee"]

For your first question you want to modify the code as follows:

Import["https://images.search.yahoo.com/search/images;_ylt=AwrExo6gMpdei08AnAmLuLkF;_ylc=X1MDOTYwNTc0ODMEX3IDMgRmcgMEZ3ByaWQDMkFybVJzZFBSbmVtRGs0aHVwdU1oQQRuX3N1Z2cDMTAEb3JpZ2luA2ltYWdlcy5zZWFyY2gueWFob28uY29tBHBvcwMwBHBxc3RyAwRwcXN0cmwDBHFzdHJsAzQEcXVlcnkDbGlseQR0X3N0bXADMTU4Njk2NzIwNQ--?fr2=sb-top-images.search&p=lily&ei=UTF-8&iscqry=&fr=sfp","Images"]

To look for images at a URL, use the "Images" option with Import:

Import[<URL>,"Images"]

For your second question: you may want to look at http://reference.wolfram.com/language/ref/ChromaticityPlot.html

i create this code (Show[Graphics3D[ Parallelepiped[{0, 0, 0}, {{10, 0, 0}, {0, 6, 0}, {0, 0, 4}}], {Axes -> True, AxesStyle -> GrayLevel[0]}], ViewPoint -> {1.3, -2.4, 2.}]), How can i put an atom every one mint and after 240 mints the parallepiped will be full of atoms.

like this code(Graphics3D[ Table[Style[Sphere[RandomInteger[10, 3]], Opacity[0.5]], 100]]) but i want the same volume of above Parallelepiped and i want to change number of atoms with time to be every one minute one atom and after 240 minutes the Parallelepiped will be full of 240 atoms

Great series. I completed the four quizzes. Do we need to do anything else to request a certificate?
