+# DDO-Seminar
+
+This sub repository contains the docker image and notebook that have designed in support of the 
+"Elevate Your Problem-Solving Skills with Dynamic Programming: A Theoretical and Hands-On Seminar" 
+at UCLouvain on Dec. 7th, 2023. 
+
+The image has been pre-built and uploaded onto docker hub so as to lower the barrier to entry for
+all participants. All what they have to do is to run the following command:
+
+```
+docker run -p 8888:8888 xgillard:ddo-seminar
+```
+
+And then open their browser at the following location: http://localhost:8888/lab/tree/ddo_seminar.ipynb
+
+That's it.
