An ICTP Meeting in presence
Writing software has become central to research in many fields of science. This school aims to give early-career scientists an introduction to a variety of topics that help them to write efficient, clean, maintainable and long-lived code that is useful beyond solving an immediate problem. In a mixture of talks and many hands-on sessions, the focus lies on showing best practices and building fundamental skills in creating, extending and collaborating on modular and reusable software.
Topics:
Python / shell scripts as glue code
Introduction to computer architectures and software optimization
Modular, reusable software design
Effective collaborative development with multiple co-authors
Version control and release cycles
Automated testing frameworks
Structured documentation
Management of open source scientific packages
Continuous integration & deployment
Visualisation as a development tool
Conversational development
