SUMMARY:Making PDFs Accessible the Easy Way
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER NOW\nPDF is one of the most common document formats at UCLA. People who are blind\, low-vision or have dyslexia rely on assistive technologies and screenreading software to “read text out loud” to them. However\, many PDF documents created are completely inaccessible or frustrating for screenreader users. Public PDFs posted on websites\, PDF course reading material and PDFs emailed to listservs should be accessible to people who use screenreaders and other assistive technologies. During this one and a half hour long active learning session\, you will have the opportunity to get hands-on training in making an accessible PDF. \nPlease bring a laptop with Adobe Acrobat installed. If you do not have a laptop one will be provided for you at the Learning Lab. \nLearning Objectives\nBy the end of this training you should be able to: \n\nDescribe what PDF accessibility is and why it important\nProperly scan a book or paper to convert to PDF\nRun the PDF accessibility checker\nSet image alt tags\nBuild header structure into the PDF\nSet proper reading order\nUse a color contrast checker

SUMMARY:Introduction to Programming in Go
DESCRIPTION:This short course will cover the basics of the Go language for those who already are familiar with an imperative programming environment like Python. The Go programming language (golang) is a simple\, high-performance imperative programming language. It has the benefits of a strongly typed\, compiled language along with many of the benefits of popular scripting languages like Python. The course will assume familiarity with another imperative language so we can use comparisons (to Python) to leverage familiarity and move quickly. We will also discuss the basic toolchain used in Go programming along with its standard library. We’ll wrap up with some quick exposure to Go’s performance and facilities for supporting concurrent programming. \n  \n\nIf you have questions regarding the workshop\, please contact the instructor Scott Friedman.

SUMMARY:Decomposing Interactions in R
DESCRIPTION:In regression\, we are often interested in an interaction\, which is the modification of the effect of an independent variable by another. Interactions can be decomposed in three ways\, by 1) testing each effect against zero\, 2) testing differences among effects\, and 3) graphing. This workshop will demonstrate how to do all three analyses in R for the following interaction models: continuous-by-continuous\, categorical-by-continuous\, and categorical-by-categorical. Some hands-on exercises will be presented. Recommended: Prior knowledge of linear regression and a laptop with R installed. \nThis workshop will be hands-on.  So participants should bring their own laptop with R installed. \nIf you have questions or comments regarding this event\, contact Statistical Consulting Group. \nNOTE: This event is only available in-person at UCLA. There will not be online access to this event. Please only register for the event if you are able to attend in-person.

SUMMARY:Introduction to Jupyter
DESCRIPTION:RSVP FOR EVENT\nThe Jupyter Notebook is a computing tool that allows users to edit and run Python\, R\, Julia (and many other programming languages) inside a web browser. Furthermore\, it is a powerful tool that allows users to combine live code\, text\, and visualizations in an interactive\, shareable\, reproducible document. It has been growing in popularity in many scientific and research disciplines as a data exploration and analysis tool that encourages collaboration and reproducible science. This class will provide an interactive demonstration showing what the Jupyter Notebook is\, how to use it\, and how it is being used in many different fields.

SUMMARY:Introduction to Message Passing Interface (MPI)
DESCRIPTION:RSVP FOR EVENT\nMPI (message passing interface) is the de facto standard for distributed-memory parallel scientific computing. While the entire MPI API is quite extensive\, this class will cover a number of key ingredients commonly used in practice. This class is useful for those who plan to start writing MPI code\, and for those who would like to know how MPI works in order to operate an existing MPI code. Working knowledge of C and Fortran programming languages will be very helpful to follow the class materials. \nSpecifically\, we will discuss: \n\nMPI basics\nOne-to-one communication examples\nCollective communication examples\nRunning MPI programs

SUMMARY:Python for High Performance Computing
DESCRIPTION:RSVP FOR EVENT\nPython\, originally developed as a general-purpose programming language\, has gained its popularity in the scientific community in recent years owing to its elegant and easy-to-understand syntax and powerful libraries. Python fully supports both functional and object-oriented programming styles. This class will discuss a number useful features of Python in the context of scientific computing\, and introduce a number of supporting packages\, including numpy for fast array-based computations\, h5py to access HDF5 files\, and the use of Python in MPI-style parallel computing.
