CodeBreak

Revision as of 00:43, 20 October 2021 by C.carouge (talk | contribs)

The CMS team is running CodeBreak sessions every fortnight.

Those sessions are an opportunity to come and have your questions answered by the CMS team, or to listen in to learn something new. Queries can be on some specific code you are writing, about a training you are trying to understand or broader questions about programming or scientific modelling.
At the start of each session, we will ask you to provide a brief summary of your query so we can organise break-out rooms themed on topics, in order to make it possible to cover as many questions as possible and keep each room focussed on related problems.
When appropriate we will take a few minutes at the beginning of a session to present useful new software or language features, interesting blogs or highlight new developments in modelling. These topics will be announced beforehand as they arise.
