What for?

Programming: highly satisfying activity as you think it works, after having spent days when it was almost working, and before you realize it does not actually work that well… — Gérard Berry

Session #3: 18 September 2018

Talks:

  • Using dask for the rioc cluster, Loïc Estève (SED). Slides, demo Jupyter notebook.
  • tmux, Vivien Mallet (CLIME). tmux stands for terminal multiplexer, an alternative to the command-line tool called “screen”, enabling users to launch long-standing processes without fearing about closing the window from where these processes have been launched. Here is a good starting point for a .tmux.conf configuration file.
  • Continuous Integration: Jenkins Pipelines, Thierry Martinez (SED). Pipelines are the modern way to setup continuous integration jobs, in a Jenkinsfile that is stored directly in the versioned repository of your project. Slides, .tex

Session #2: 19 June 2018

Talks:

  • Python 2 vs Python 3, Loïc Estève (SED). Slides
  • Versioning: gitlab.inria.fr, Clémentine Fourrier (SED). Slides
  • Visual Studio Code, Simon Legrand (SED). Visual Studio Code (not related to Visual Studio despite the name …) is a cross-platform, open-source and lightweight editor with a very rich ecosystem of plugins. It can be seen as an alternative to Atom or Sublime Text.
  • Pijul, Pierre-Étienne Meunier (TAPDANCE). A version control system, quite similar to Git, but well-founded mathematically. Pierre-Étienne Meunier is one of its conceptors. Slides More about it.

Session #1: 15 May 2018

Given talks:

  • Introductory talk, Loïc Estève (SED)
  • Magit (Git GUI in Emacs) and Tramp (open remote files via SSH in Emacs), Thierry Martinez (SED)
  • Docker, Clémentine Fourrier (SED)
  • NixOS, Pierre-Étienne Meunier (TAPDANCE). NixOS is a Linux distribution based on Nix, a purely fonctionnal package manager, which means it’s stateless. More about it.
