09:30
Visual Basic: Introduction for Those New to Programming (2 of 2) Finished 09:30 - 13:00 Phoenix Teaching Room

An introduction to computer programming using the Visual Basic language.

Access 2007: Further Use (2 of 2) Finished 09:30 - 13:00 Titan Teaching Room 2

This course is intended for those already using Microsoft Access 2007 to store and retrieve data who wish to explore queries, forms and reporting. Those who have attended the Access Intro course will find this follows on seamlessly from where that course ended.

14:15
Unix: Building, Installing and Running Software (2 of 3) Finished 14:15 - 17:00 Phoenix Teaching Room

This course is part of the Scientific Computing series.

It is common for a student or researcher to find a piece of software or to have one thrust upon them by a supervisor which they must then build, install and use. It is a myth that any of this requires system privilege. This course demonstrates the building, installation and use of typical software ranging from trivially easy examples (the "configure, make, install" scheme) through to the evils of badly written Makefiles. Common errors and what they mean will be covered and by the end of the course the student should be able to manage their own software without needing to pester their system administrator.
