  1. Motivation - Reproducible research
  2. Software practice:
    • General good-practice overview (e.g. substance related to SWC "feedback loops")
    • Version control
    • Unit testing
    • Writing readable code
    • Working with others -- code reviews, pair programming etc
  3. Data management

Materials we already have, that we can draw from

Longer form, e.g. for ISMIR 3-hour hands-on tutorial

If we want to do hand-on data management, do we need a local server ? Do we use the C4DM test repository ? Would any users actually have any data to work with anyway ?

Things we must make

  • Leaflets, handouts etc
    • What is version control? and why use it?
    • Unit testing and audio software
    • Data management and policy
    • Software licences and copyright
