This course extends the basic use of Microsoft Word 2007 for Windows, in particular the features which affect the arrangement & look of a printed page.

SPSS is a powerful general purpose statistical package with high quality graphics and tabulation facilities, and a reputation for being relatively user-friendly. This session follows on from Part 1 and covers useful techniques and tricks. It is strongly recommended for anyone likely to use SPSS for any but the very simplest analysis of the very simplest data.

This course is part of the Scientific Computing series.

This could be called "Computer Arithmetic Uncovered". It will describe how computers store and process integers and floating point numbers, and also the exceptions that might arise and what they mean. The intent is to explain how modern computers handle numbers, and how to get reliable answers for a reasonable amount of effort.

This course is aimed at those new to programming and provides an introduction to programming using Python, focussing on scientific programming. This course is probably unsuitable for those with significant programming experience. By the end of this course, attendees should be able to write simple Python programs and to understand more complex Python programs written by others.

As this course is part of the Scientific Computing series, the examples chosen are of most relevance to scientific programming.

This hands-on course is a follow up from the Excel 2007 Introduction course.

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.

The rendering time for web pages is dominated by the graphics on the page. This course teaches methods of preparing graphics so minimise information loss and maximise transfer and rendering efficiency. There is an opportuinity to try the methods using PhotoShop.

Want to know how to create online dynamic tutorials, how-tos, faqs and many more? This course is for you. Using Camtasia Studio v 7 you will record your onscreen activities or presentation, edit into a polished video, and be shown how to publish it to the web.

You will learn how to capture audio while you are recording - or add narration and music later. Learn how to cut out the sections of your video that you don’t want and rearrange the sections that you do. Add, cut, splice, join and move sections of video or audio until you have a finished screencast.

Although this course will be run on Windows, the skills learnt can be appled to the Mac version of Camtasia.

Following on from the "Photoshop: Basic Techniques" course, this course covers some of the more advanced feature of Adobe Photoshop, the popular image manipulation and editing tool for graphics and design professionals. The course will explore some of the more advanced features of Photoshop. Techniques will be explained and demonstrated, and participants will then be given the opportunity to practice these for themselves.
