Subject: [AUDITORY] ARO Ancillary Session Announcement - Making Code Easy To Read and Use From: Alan Kan <alan.kan@xxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 7 Feb 2018 15:28:30 -0600 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY>Topic: Making Code Easy To Read and Use Time: Sunday, Feb 11, from 5 - 6 PM Place: 2018 ARO Midwinter Meeting, Promenade B room I'd like to announce a software development ancillary session at the ARO midwinter meeting titled "Making Code Easy to Read and Use." This is a continuation of the software workshops that we have been organizing to promote code sharing and re-use across research groups. This year, Matthew Winn, Mathias Dietz, Joshua Hajicek, and Vijay Iyer are presenting their techniques for making software easy for other researchers to use. Our goal is to promote collaboration and reduce technical debt accumulation by encouraging best practices during development of software, which will be demonstrated with code examples in MATLAB and R. If you are not attending ARO this year, presentation materials will be available on the ARO website after the meeting, as in previous years (http://www.aro.org/page/MWMPresentations). Thanks and I hope to see you there, Adam Bosen and Alan Kan -- Alan Kan, PhD Assistant Scientist | Binaural Hearing and Speech Laboratory | University of Wisconsin-Madison Room 563, Waisman Center / 1500 Highland Avenue, Madison, WI, 53705 Phone: +1-608-262-7483 / Fax: +1-608-263-2918 Web: http://www2.waisman.wisc.edu/~ahkan ** Email is generally not a secure way to communicate sensitive or health related information as there are many ways for unauthorized users to access email.
