09:30	Web Authoring: Introduction to HTML (Level 1) Finished 09:30 - 13:00 Phoenix Teaching Room This is a practical-based course for people new to writing Web pages. Only the basics of HTML (hypertext markup language) will be covered, but there are other courses for those wishing to extend their knowledge.

10:00	EndNote for Bibliographies: Introduction (self-paced) Finished 10:00 - 12:00 Titan Teaching Room 1 An introduction to the bibliography package EndNote and its interface with Microsoft Word. EndNote is a program that stores bibliographic references, and notes about those references, in an EndNote Library. EndNote then interfaces with MS Word to help you create a bibliography and bibliographic citations while you type a document. The style (contents and layout) of the citations and bibliography can then be formatted in an Output Style of your choice; this can easily be changed without retyping.

The requirements for providing accessible web pages, utilising the site-wide search engine on your web pages and liaising with a web design company are also covered. In addition, Helen Sargan runs an "access/site design clinic" with information providers on a one-to-one basis: please contact her directly to make an appointment.
	Python: Operating System Access Finished 14:15 - 17:00 Phoenix Teaching Room This course is part of the Scientific Computing series. This course will introduce methods in Python for accessing the operating system environment (e.g. standard input, standard output, environment variables, etc). The course will cover topics such as command-line parsing in more detail than the "Python Introduction for Absolute Beginners" or "Python Introduction for Programmers".

Visual Basic: Introduction for Those New to Programming (1 of 2) Finished 09:30 - 13:00 Phoenix Teaching Room

An introduction to computer programming using the Visual Basic language.

14:15

Unix: Building, Installing and Running Software (1 of 3) Finished 14:15 - 17:00 Phoenix Teaching Room

This course is part of the Scientific Computing series.

It is common for a student or researcher to find a piece of software or to have one thrust upon them by a supervisor which they must then build, install and use. It is a myth that any of this requires system privilege. This course demonstrates the building, installation and use of typical software ranging from trivially easy examples (the "configure, make, install" scheme) through to the evils of badly written Makefiles. Common errors and what they mean will be covered and by the end of the course the student should be able to manage their own software without needing to pester their system administrator.
