About this Event:
Are you dabbling with the idea of getting into programming, but don't know where to start? Have you registered for a beginner programming course and have no programming experience? Do you think that you may secretly be a programming genius, but have never found the time to start learning? If you answered yes to any of the above questions, then this is the workshop for you! This 2-hour workshop that will cover basic concepts that are universal to all programming languages: data types, data structures and control flow (don't worry if you don't know what those words mean; you will by the end of the workshop!). No prior programming experience is required. All you need is your own laptop and a willingness to learn.
A little bit about us......
We are researchers, training researchers! We get you! and would like to embrace you into our Community. Please feel free to swing by our new space called "Co - Lab", located in Room G07 of Old Quad, for a cup of tea and a chat. You are welcome anytime and we would love to see you there!
Research Platforms provides, builds and maintains ICT infrastructure for researchers, in particular cloud compute infrastructure and data storage infrastructure. Enabling data-driven research and the effective use of IT is at the centre of everything we do. We service more than 3,000 researchers from all disciplines across Parkville, within Victoria, and nationally.We work closely with key research support units including Faculty IT teams, the Melbourne eResearch Group, the Library, and other Infrastructure Services departments.
As well as providing underlying infrastructure services, we also work with researchers to provide a range of training, engagement and community building activities aimed at both maximising usage of the facilities, and maximising the value researchers get from them. By building community infrastructure in this way, we connect researchers with each other, with the supplied infrastructure, and with related infrastructure and services such as NCI, Pawsey, VLSCI, etc.
