We will be offering a short course in software development, aimed at environmental scientists.
Software engineering is a large and complex discipline and so this NERC
short course will focus on the most important and relevant elements
for scientists, crucial amongst which are usability, maintainability,
accuracy, and readability. These are the foundations of professional
code development skills. We will teach and demonstrate the benefits of
good initial design, thorough testing, algorithm re-use and code
progression, the ideas of elegance, abstraction, performance and
scalability.
There will be two levels to run sequentially with the caveat that
applicants for the second level must demonstrate competence at the
first level through use of an online assessment.
The courses are aimed principally at PhD students and early career scientists, but all applications will be considered.
