ARCHER, the UK's national supercomputing service, offers training in software development and high-performance computing to scientists and researchers across the UK. As part of our training service we will be running a 2 day ‘Practical Software Development’ training session.
Writing code is just part of developing effective software - how do you get the best from working with others as part of a software team, incorporating existing work into your own, contributing back and producing code and software suites for others?
Software development comprises a range of activities including writing code, requirements analysis, testing and product evaluation. This course introduces how software development projects can be approached to achieve high-quality software products.
