Acknowledgement of country

We wish to acknowledge the custodians of the land we reside on, for the developers of these lessons, these are the Wadjuk (Perth region) people of the Nyoongar nation. We would like to pay our respect to their Elders past, present and emerging and we acknowledge and respect their continuing culture and the contribution they make to the life of this city and this region.

Outline of the workshop

This workshop consists of three modules of work, which will nominally be conducted over three half days. The timing of the workshop is intended to be three half days separated by a week each such that people can apply their new skills to their own code-base before the next workshop. Spacing the modules by a week is also meant to encourage people to experiment and come up with problems / solutions / questions that can be addressed at the start of the following module (or incorporated into the wrap-up session).

Delivery

This workshop will be presented online via Webex, hosted by Curtin.
