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. |
