Most of the course will be hands-on work. Workstations running Windows will be provided, but students can bring their own laptop with a wireless internet connection if they wish. Eduroam is available at the University.
The material taught is platform-independent and should work with Windows, GNU/Linux and MacOS systems. The students who wish to use their own laptop are expected to have installed the necessary software on their machine before they attend the course. System-specific instructions are usually found on the software web sites:
- A spreadsheet program. If you already have Microsoft Excel then great, otherwise you can download LibreOffice, which is an free and open-source office suite.
- Firefox. Yes, specifically this browser! We will use it to learn SQL with a Firefox add-on.
- SQLite manager for Firefox. See installation instructions here if needed: http://apawlik.github.io/2015-03-18-csc-espoo/#setup
- A program for ssh connection:
- Windows: Putty or equivalent
- Linux and Mac users: we will use ssh, which is already installed by default on your machines
- Git and Git GUI.
- Windows users: https://git-for-windows.github.io/
- Mac users: https://git-scm.com/download/mac
- Linux users can install Git here: https://git-scm.com/download/linux and Git GUI here: https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Gitg/
- An Anaconda installation of Python 3.5. This will install Python, Jupyter notebook and a whole bunch of usefull Python libraries: https://www.continuum.io/downloads
- A text editor with syntax highlighting.
- For Windows we suggest Notepad++
- For Mac two good alternatives are TextMate and TextWrangler
- Linux users can install Geany or Gedit
