GOAL

Lower entry barrier for new developers. Teach python basics, introduce to sasview code base, familiarize with github and other developers tools, write up a simple plugin model. This training will be recommended before joining a code camp. Boot camps are supposed to be held regularly and both in Europe and US. The boot camp will most likely take two days. First day will be mostly introduction to python. Day 2 dedicated to specifically to SasView?. Experienced python programmers will skip Day 1. Target group: students, graduate students, postdocs.
