High School, Community College and Adult Education Educators are invited to attend our November TeacherTECH Science Series
focused on
curriculum design for introductory computer science.
Monday, November 16, 2009
4:30pm- 6:30pm
San Diego Supercomputer Center
Training Room 279
University of California, San Diego
Workshop Description
Your genome contains the blueprint to the complexity of who you are and what you do, and yet it only occupies 3 gigabytes of data. While this is too much information for you to capture in our mind, its nothing for a computer. Today scientific computing has a wide range of uses. From molecular simulations for drug discovery, to data collection and sorting for experimental analysis, software continues to become an essential part of the discovery process. Java technology is very often the language of choice for distributing, analyzing and visualizing scientific data. The National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), the worldwide hub for biological data, uses Java extensively for curating and distributing public resources like the human genome project and over 1.5 million scientific publications.
The Accessible Scientific Programming course will cover introductory Java programming techniques using real scientific data
directly from these national resources. We will use Java and the Eclipse IDE to learn (or relearn) basic programming skills and in the process, learn how to compute the human genome.
Topics include:
Primitives
Arrays
File I/O
Loops
Operators
2D (How to draw an image to a png, jpg, gif file)
Sorting, Trees, Recursion
Please join us for an exciting and informative session of hands-on learning presented by
Jeff Milton, Tissue Network.
Registration is free. Space is
limited. Please contact Ange Mason at 858-534-5064 or
