Audience: Stata users familiar with data management who want an overview of the new data management features introduced in Stata 16. We'll cover the two main data management features introduced in Stata 16. 1) Frames - holding multiple data sets in memory simultaneously. 2) Variable lists - formalizing creation and storage of lists of variables.
This is a continuation of the workshop "Introduction to performance analysis of scientific software". Now, we know how to measure overall performance of our software and can make a good guess of the main performance bottleneck. How can we improve the performance? Do we really need to rewrite the whole program in a different language? […]
Mobile app development is one of the biggest new industries of the last decade. As of 2017, Google and Apple (the creators of Android and iOS, respectively) confirmed a combined total of over 3 billion devices around the globe using their mobile operating systems. The capabilities and built-in sensors on modern smartphones also provide a […]
We all had this: "My program is too slow". We all have heard: "Use Fortran and C++, they are fast." But will it really help? We all have heard also: "Don't bother, use Python and R on a better computer", and "HPC clusters are fast". But what does "better" and "fast" even mean? In this […]
This workshop will cover GIS concepts and techniques for analyzing geometric networks embedded in geographical space. We will mainly focus on road network, but the ideas and techniques apply to similar network such as the water and electricity distribution networks and gas pipelines. We will use open source tools in R and QGIS. You should […]
Video game development is more accessible than ever before thanks to modern software tools, with many options free to download. These tools are also used to program more "serious" applications that require interactive 3D graphics, from mobile apps, virtual and augmented reality, computer vision and artificial intelligence, and real-time CGI film production. Unity3D is […]

This workshop will provide a gentle introduction to open source GIS tools in R and QGIS. We will cover introductory GIS concepts and will explore the functionalities of R and QGIS for manipulating and analyzing vector GIS data. Familiarity with R is required.
Mobile app development is one of the biggest new industries of the last decade. If you are developing an app in Android for the first time, the first option you will likely find is "Android Studio," a free integrated-developer-environment (IDE) provided directly by the Android team at Google, using the Java programming language. It's a […]
