Introductory programming: Unix Shell, Git, and Python
This beginner-level, hands-on series covers the fundamentals of Unix Shell, Version Control with Git and Python. This includes data types, conditional statements, loops, and functions, as well as program design, version control, data management, and task automation. Participants will be encouraged to help one another and to apply what they have learned to their own research problems. The goal is to teach the practical knowledge needed to start programming, debugging, and using Python in everyday tasks.
ACENET: Basics of computers
Most of us have experience using a computer, whether for school, work, or entertainment, but how many of us have actually had an expert teach us how to use it? This talk won't teach you how to troubleshoot everything, but it will give you insight to how media, programs, and data are encoded and used by computers, so you can make more sense of why computers behave the ways they do, and solve some of your problems with greater efficiency and less frustration.

ACENET: Parallel computing with Graphic Processing Units (GPUs)
Parallel computing is the business of breaking a large problem into tens, hundreds, or even thousands of smaller problems which can then be solved at the same time using a cluster of computers, or supercomputer. It can reduce processing time to a fraction of what it would be on a desktop or workstation, or enable you to tackle larger, more complex problems. It’s widely used in big data mining, AI, time-critical simulations, and advanced graphics such as augmented or virtual reality.
ACENET: Parallel computing with Message Passing Interface (MPI)
