Last minute call – Data Carpentry Course
Are you a Social Scientist who works with data? Would you like to learn more about shell, git, data management best practices and data cleaning and R? If so then register now for the Data Carpentry workshop for Social Sciences 30 – 31 March.
Introduction to Programming Workshop
Aimed at Social science researchers interested in coding, this workshop organised by the UK Data Service will provide researchers with a basic set of skills which are aimed at making the coding process more effective, less error prone and more maintainable.
Avizo Courses for Spring 2017
Dates have been announced for tomography and 3D data images processing courses using Avizo for the next few months at the University of Manchester. The courses are run by the Manchester X-ray Imaging Facility (MXIF) at the Henry Moseley X-ray Imaging Facility, University of Manchester and are free to UoM researchers. External attendees are welcome to attend but there is a cost.
Make Course Announced
Have you ever thought about how you can make your results easier to reproduce?
Make is a tool which can run commands to read files, process these files in some way, and write out the processed files. For example, in software development, Make is used to compile source code into executable programs or libraries, but Make can also be used for many other tasks.
Intro to UNIX Course
Research IT will be delivering an introductory training course on the UNIX shell (aka the terminal, the Linux command line) on 20th April 2017.
Introduction to Avizo January 2017
An Avizo Introduction course will be running at the University of Manchester on Thursday, 26th January. Avizo is 3D visualization and analysis software for scientific data.
Parallel Programming with C++
There will be a half day course on “Parallel Programming with C++” at the University on the 24th of January 2017. This is a short course that will give you a taste of functional programming in C++ and how it can be used to write efficient parallel code.
NAG Numerical & Statistical Routines within MATLAB
NAG (The Numerical Algorithms Group) are running a training session on how to make the most of their numerical and statistical routines within MATLAB. The NAG Library, and Fortran Compiler, are available to University of Manchester staff and students for use on both institutional and personal machines for academic use under a site-wide license.
