It is expected that this module will run January 2011, dates to be confirmed. Please register your interest if you would like to attend. There is a fee to attend this course. The Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) programme is open to University IT Supporters. It covers network technology, protocols and theory at deeper levels reflective of university practices. You will learn the basics of routing, switching, and advanced technologies to acquire the skills required to provide a robust and secure network in your institution and it prepares you for CCNA certification. We offer this program as instructor led with remote access to the curriculum and an online networks laboratory called NETLAB. There is a mix of lecture, demonstrations and a heavy emphasis on practical activities using live lab equipment and a simulation package. Further details and pricing information are available. This is the third of four modules in the CCNA programme. 1. Networking Fundamentals 2. LAN Switching and Wireless 3. Routing Protocols and Concepts 4. Accessing the WAN |

This course is part of the Scientific Computing series. This course is aimed at those new to programming, or who have never been formally taught the principles and basic concepts of programming. It provides an introduction to the basic concepts common to most high level languages (including Python, Java, Fortran, C, C++, Visual Basic). The aim of the course is to equip attendees with the background knowledge and confidence necessary to tackle many on-line and printed programming tutorials. It may also help attendees in deciding which programming language is suitable for their programming task. Knowledge of the concepts presented in this course is a pre-requisite for many of the other courses in the Scientific Computing series of courses (although not for the "Python for Absolute Beginners" course). |

An introduction to the bibliography package EndNote and its interface with Microsoft Word. EndNote is a program that stores bibliographic references, and notes about those references, in an EndNote Library. EndNote then interfaces with MS Word to help you create a bibliography and bibliographic citations while you type a document. The style (contents and layout) of the citations and bibliography can then be formatted in an Output Style of your choice; this can easily be changed without retyping. |

Adobe Photoshop is the favourite image manipulation and editing tool of the professional graphics industry. It enables scanned-in photographs, pictures and graphics files to be edited and offers a dazzling array of drawing, special effects and filtering tools. Knowing where to start with such a comprehensive and feature-filled package can be daunting. This presentation aims to equip new users with the basics, using live demonstrations throughout. |

This is a practical-based course for people new to writing Web pages. Only the basics of HTML (hypertext markup language) will be covered, but there are other courses for those wishing to extend their knowledge. By the end of the course participants will have created three personal linked web pages. |

This course is part of the Scientific Computing series. This is a basic introduction to modern Fortran. At the end of the course, students should be able to write significant programs in Fortran, and to be able to start working on existing programs written in modern Fortran (i.e. in the Fortran 90/95 style). It will not cover obsolete features of Fortran, some of the more advanced aspects, or most of the extensions introduced by Fortran 2003. The course has been rewritten in the light of experience from last year, and will include less on the concepts of programming and more on what practical Fortran programmers need to know (such as a session on Fortran I/O). |

This follows on from the Introduction to HTML and is a practical-based course. |
