C and LaTeX Training Materials Rutherford Appleton Laboratory Debbie Thomas The purpose of this project is to develop and produce to professional standards a package of training support material to enable Computer Centre staff to carry out effective training in the areas of LaTeX and C for Fortran programmers. The course material will be based on existing courses which have been run several times and have been very successful. The packs will consist of course notes, OHP masters, lecturer notes, exercise sheets and model solutions. Course Synopses C for Fortran Programmers This will be a five day, intensive, hands-on programming course for Fortran Programmers wishing to utilise the programming language C. The course will cover the basic features of C, using simple examples from Fortran to ease the learning process. The course will aim to impart the spirit of C and some basic software engineering principles so that, subsequent to the course, the programmer codes in C and not in Fortran-C. An Introduction to LaTeX This will be a one day basic level LaTeX course for users of Sun Workstations. It will cover document styles, font sizes and styles, section numbering, table of contents, tables, maths, indexes and references. This is a 12 month project based in the Informatics Department, Rutherford Appleton Laboratory.
