We’re happy to announce a further 3 coding club sessions, these range from building pipelines and using GPU’s to a workshop where you can bring in your issues, queries and questions.
Our aim is to build a community of members of the University who would like to learn and share good software practices. We meet for an hour each month, with two 30-minute topic slots delivered by staff and students from across the University, sharing their skills and knowledge related to coding. The talks are either introductory or more advanced and include time for Q&A.
We record these sessions and add them to our Coding Club Canvas Course (https://canvas.bham.ac.uk/enroll/C9968P).
