Hints and tips on common Bash and editor commands.
You must bring your own laptop to work on (so that you can easily continue to use the same tools after the bootcamp). Before you arrive, you will need to ensure you have installed and tested some software. Please see our set-up page for a list of the software required and instructions.
You should test your installation using our testing scripts described here. To access these start a shell and run the commands:
git clone https://github.com/chryswoods/2013-11-14-exeter.git ./bootcamp
cd bootcamp/setup
before following these instructions.
You also need to create a free individual account on BitBucket. Make sure you know your username and password when you arrive
We recommend that you to work through this short tutorial on Beginning Python before the bootcamp. This is designed for people completely new to Python (the main language used for the programming parts of the bootcamp) and some familiarity with the basic syntax will be helpful.
The organiser of this boot camp is Konrad Paszkiewicz. The instructors will be David Martin and Christopher Woods.
For help or more information please contact Konrad Paszkiewicz.
