The CCDM programming club is a fortnightly meeting for improving coding skills by sharing code and working collaboratively on problems/projects.
There are an ever-increasing number of us writing code to attack our research questions. We feel that for the most part, CCDM researchers write code in isolation and share only the final, polished results. This robs everybody of the opportunity to see how others might solve a particular problem, and to learn by watching how each other work.
Check out our blog for more details of what’s happening, or find out more about us below.
Schedule
Meetings are every second Wednesday from 12-1 pm in B304.307 Curtin University, Australia.
- 2018-05-30 Discussing project ideas and working through Rosalind problems in pairs.
- 2018-06-13 Agenda TBD
Project goals
- Encourage code sharing
- Encourage collaborative work
- Improve skills for working collaboratively e.g. git, agile practices
- Improve coding and software development skills
Roadmap
In the first few weeks we will be warming up by working through the Rosalind problem set and sharing the results.
As the group becomes more confident and established, we will transition to working collaboratively on small-medium sized software development projects aimed at solving research problems within the CCDM.
