This two-part course will describe good-practice aspects of designing, building and running a web site, and providing information on a web server. 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.

EndNote for Bibliographies: Introduction (Self-paced) Finished 10:00 - 12:00 Phoenix Teaching Room

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.

13:00
Relational Database Design Finished 13:00 - 17:00 Balfour Macintosh Room

This course gives a simple introduction to organizing your data in a relational database. It aims to explain the arranging of your data. It does not deal with specific relational databases systems such as Access, Oracle or SQL Server, or the technical tools that you would or could use to set up your database. The course aims to provide you with enough information to sit down and design your database, regardless of the database product that you intend to use. Exercises will be done on paper, without using computers.

Python: Further Topics (1 of 2) Finished 14:15 - 17:00 Phoenix Teaching Room

This course is part of the Scientific Computing series.

This course will introduce more advanced aspects of the Python language than the "Python for Absolute Beginners" course or "Python for Programmers" courses. The course will cover topics such as file I/O in more detail than either of those two courses. Whilst the course will not cover the use of Python to produce graphical output, some mention will be made of how Python can be used to interface with tools such as gnuplot to produce graphical output of scientific data.

This course does not explicitly cover the object oriented aspects of the Python language.
