Hello everyone,
I am Antonello Lobianco and I am lecturing the course "AT2.MDD 57 – Scientific programming with Julia''.
Welcome onboard.
We'll have the first of the 2 face-to-face lessons on Thursday the 17th of March (10:00 to 12:00) at AgroParisTech, room Jacamon 1 (14 Rue Girardet, Nancy, just between Place Stanislas and the channel). The room is indeed in the building on the other side of the APT campus. In doubt, you can ask at the reception.
The second face-to-face lesson will be April the 7th, same time and place.
PLEASE BRING YOUR OWN LAPTOP as both lessons will largely have a practical focus: in the first one we'll introduce the course and install the tools we'll need across it, in the second we will review the exercises and the content and discuss eventual problems.
As you know the course is delivered using a blended learning format, through the UL "ARCHE" platform.
The course is already open on https://arche.univ-lorraine.fr/course/view.php?id=53796 Please be sure that you are able to receive communications on the email that you use on ARCHE, as I will use the course's forum for announcements across the course. You can introduce yourself in the thread with the same name.
Detailed program and schedule is provided on this page: https://arche.univ-lorraine.fr/mod/page/view.php?id=1408750 The idea is to spread the course across 6 weeks, with the week lectures and quizzes opening at the begin of the week and the quizzes/exercises due at the end of each week.
While on Arche you will find the videos, you may be interested instead in the scripts discussed in the videos. They are available on GitHub under two forms:
- HERE
you can get the files with the code described in the videos. You can
clone the repository with `git clone
https://github.com/sylvaticus/SPMLJ` (in VS Code open the command
palette with CTRL+SHIFT+P and type "git clone") and get it on your PC
and play with the code by yourself.
- HERE is the same code but nicely organised by topics, where you can observe the code together with the output it produces.
Finally, a due warning: you may find the beginning of the course a bit "boring". The course assumes no knowledge of Julia, and starts from zero. We'll need to build a bit of knowledge before doing interesting stuff, so these are mostly at the end of the course. Be patient
See you tomorrow. All the best,
Antonello
