Seminar (Summer 2017)

Know your tools…

Synopsis

In the seminar “Advanced Tools” we inspect selected topics covering a wide range of software development methods, data analysis tools as well as topics related to custom experiment hardware that are typically encountered in physics. Each week, one topic will be presented by a student in a 45-minutes talk with subsequent discussion and a written report. This seminar counts as a "Mandatory Advanced Seminar" (MVSem; 6CP; Moodle, LSF) and target audience are Master students.

List of planned seminar talks:

Version Control Systems (“focusing modern VCS tools”)
Software plumbing in Unix-like environments
Debugging and profiling
Test-driven/Continuous Integration-based development and Code Review
(“Why things break, how to detect fails early and how to improve the situation”)
Building and deploying software
Driving custom experiment hardware: (4 Topics)
- Device drivers
- Real-time programming
- Embedded programming
- Monitoring experiment hardware
Visualization (“matplotlib et al.”)
Software project management and team-based development
Python Wrappers (“Gluing Python to C++”)
ROOT (“Data analysis frameworks”)

Topics will be introduced and assigned to speakers during the first meeting on 2017-04-19 09:15 in INF227(KIP) room SR 1.401 (CIP-Pool). The seminar will take place at KIP / SR 2.404 on Mondays 14:15–16:00.
