This course from MIT OpenCourseWare (OCW) covers very basic information on how to get started with programming using Python. Lectures are available, along with practice assignments, to users at no cost. Python has many applications in tech today, from web frameworks to machine learning. This course will also instruct users on how to get set up with an IDE, which will allow for way more efficient debugging.
Version control with Git
1
Understand the benefits of an automated version control system and the basics of how automated version control systems work. Configure git the first time it is used on a computer and understand the meaning of the --global configuration flag. Create a local Git repository and describe the purpose of the .git directory. Go through the modify-add-commit cycle for one or more files, explain where information is stored at each stage of that cycle, and distinguish between descriptive and non-descriptive commit messages.

Research Software Engineering Training Materials
0
An ongoing collection of RSE training material, workshops, and resources. We are compiling this list as a starting point for future activities. We are especially seeking material that goes beyond basic research computing competency (e.g. what The Carpentries does so well) and is general enough to span multiple domains. Specific tools and technologies used only in one domain, or applicable to only one subset of computing (i.e. HPC) are typically too narrowly focused. When in doubt, submit it to be included or reach out and we’d be happy to discuss.
Examples of Thrust code for GPU Parallelization
0
Some examples for writing Thrust code. To compile, download the CUDA compiler from NVIDIA. This code was tested with CUDA 9.2 but is likely compatible with other versions. Before compiling change extension from thrust_ex.txt to thrust_ex.cu. Any code on the device (GPU) that is run through a Thrust transform is automatically parallelized on the GPU. Host (CPU) code will not be. Thrust code can also be compiled to run on a CPU for practice.
R for Data Science

R for Data Science is a comprehensive resource for individuals looking to harness the power of the R programming language for data analysis, visualization, and statistical modeling. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced data scientist, this guide will help you unlock the full potential of R in the realm of data science.
GIS: Projections and their distortions
0
In GIS, projections are helpful to take something plotted on a globe and convert it to a flat map that we can print or show on a screen. Unfortunately it also introduces distortions to the objects and features on the map. This not only distorts the objects visually, but the results for any spatial attribute calculations will also reflect this distortion (such as distance and area ). Below is a link to a quick primer on projections, types of distortions that can occur, and suggestions on how to choose a correct projection for your work.

We'll give an overview of Charliecloud, the unprivileged container solution from Los Alamos National Laboratory's HPC Division. Students will learn how to build toy containers and containerize real HPC applications, and then run them on a cluster. Exercises are demonstrated using the ACES cluster, a composable accelerator testbed at Texas A&M University. Students with an allocation on the ACES cluster can follow along with the ACES-specific exercises.
