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.

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.

Use and re-use

The workshops are designed to be facilitated by an ADACS trainer, however they can also be consumed in a self-paced environment. The initial deployment of this workshop will be facilitated for the OzGrav team who requested the training, and then the content will be advertised / linked to from the ADACS website for anyone to use as a self-paced option. For Australian astronomers, a facilitated version of this workshop can be requested as part of the ADACS merit allocation program.
