VCUBioinformatics and Bioengineering Summer Institute
Introduction to Programming (Day 2)
We are obviously going very quickly through programming. VERY quickly... particularly for those who have not had much if any prior experience. In the short time available, I want to show you a minimal set of tools that would allow you to rule the world. Of course, to actually make them part of your repertoire would take more time.

Please let me know when you need us to pause and consider a matter more carefully.

Part I: Basic information

Your name 

Part II: Mapping

A. Do see how mapping and loops might be useful in working with large amounts of data? 

B. How comfortable are you with the notion of mapping? 

C. How comfortable are you recognizing when mapping occurs implicitly in BioBIKE functions? 

D. How comfortable are making a function map or not map if both choices make sense? 

E. How comfortable are you with the notion of explicit mappingof functions over lists? 

F. How comfortable are you with the mechanics of doing explicit mapping? 

G. Which study questions regarding mapping would you most like discussed?

SQ1 SQ2 SQ3

Part III: Loops

A. How comfortable are you with the notion of loops? (I should say that unless you've encountered loops before, I would expect them to be very mysterious at the moment) 

B. Are you comfortable with the different sections within FOR-EACH? 

C. Are you comfortable with the mechanics of setting up loops in BioBIKE? 

D. Which study questions regarding loops would you most like discussed?

SQ1  SQ2  SQ3  SQ4  SQ5  SQ6  SQ7  SQ8

Part IV: Miscellaneous

You now have or soon will have an eID number (VCU electronic identification) that will enable you to create and maintain your own web site. The starting point for this web site is the site that already exists on the BBSI site.

A. Take a look at your web site (People, Students, You). Do you feel comfortable downloading it and making the necessary modifications? 

B. Do you have whatever software you need to modify the website? 

C. (If your response to the previous question indicated the availability of software or the need for software) What program do you have in mind?

D. Comments, concerns, questions?
