We are very excited to announce a workshop on software basics in HEP and STEM organized through the HEP Software Foundation, IRIS-HEP, and the Office of Workforce Pathways and Partnerships at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory.
The times for the workshop are in US Central time zone.
Over two days we will cover the fundamentals of:
Unix - shell, bash commands and scripting
Git and Github – how to version control your code and data
Python – fundamentals of using the Python language for analysis
AI in Python and AI tools – Introductory concepts in AI, with hands-on examples in Python and an overview of AI tools and AI resources at Fermilab
This training is aimed at those who are new to HEP and want a fast-track to competency with software fundamentals, as well the non-expert self-taught who wish to ensure they do not have gaps in their knowledge.
The training material will be taught by tutors expert in HEP software. Interactive hands-on sessions lead by the tutor will be supported by a number of helpers to ensure all participants are able to follow and understand the material.
Given the limited number of participants, all participants are expected to attend the whole workshop.
Please contact the organizers (email us) in case of any questions.
