Description
These tutorials are intended for people new to the LHCb software, but may be interesting also to people wishing to better understand the LHCb software environment, the Gaudi architecture, Ganga and DaVinci.

Pre-requisites for the hands-on sessions are:
  • A laptop registered for access to the CERN network (preferably both the fixed and wireless MAC addresses should be registered)
  • A computer account on lxplus, in the LHCb group (Z5)
  • A valid grid certificate is also recommended (instructions)
To get the most out of the course, you should also have some familiarity with C++ and with Python. See for example: http://www.cplusplus.com/, http://docs.python.org/tutorial/index.html

It is not necessary to register for this tutorial. However, if you intend to participate, please send a mail to marco.cattaneo@cern.ch so we get an idea of numbers.

EVO will be available, details below. Please note however that this will be only for the presentations and related questions; it will not be possible to give hands-on advice over EVO.
