Presentations by Students
Students are
invited to propose a topic they would be interested in
presenting, during a special one-hour session to take place
the Tuesday 2nd September (16:00 - 16:55). Those
selected will be invited to give a short presentation (in
the order of 5 to 10 minutes maximum).
The
presentation, in particular if short, would not
necessarily require presentation material (such as
PowerPoint slides)
The choice of topic is free but
should be related in some way to the school. Examples, you
may briefly talk about:
Note: if you
are presenting in a group, please select one of you to use
the login and password and write the names of all members of
the group in the description.
Selected proposals and final programme

Tuesday 2nd of September, 16:00
The 5 proposals received
before the
deadline, Saturday, 30 August, 12:30 having been
accepted, the programme is therefore as follows:
All presentations will last
10 minutes maximum (except the first one which is a
combination of two proposals, and which will last 20

Version Control System |
Part 1: Subversion at CERN -> H. Hugosson I am
working at CERN / IT With a Subversion pilot
project. Accordingly Subversion was made available
for CERN users by June 2008 and in Dec 2008 it will
go into production. The plan is that it will replace
CVS gradually, and hopefully CVS can go offline by
end 2009.
Part2: Distributed Version Control System -> M.
Kortelainen
Distributed version control systems (e.g. Git,
Mercurial) provide alternative, interesting ways for
sharing code when compared to more traditional
centralized systems like CVS or Subversion. The aim
of the presentation is to give a short introduction
to the idea of distributed version control with some
examples in Git. |

Python (for physicists) |
Nowadays physicists have very powerful analysis
frameworks (e.g. ROOT) to exploit but they come with
a C++/Fortran background. Python let you improve
your development efficiency concentrating on quickly
building very flexible scripts/softwares without the
need to focus too much on the syntax and on the
control of low level details. This aims to be a very
very short introduction to Python features that
could be useful to physicist. |
