Videos from the Autumn School!

Video footage from the Software Carpentry and SoundSoftware.ac.uk UK Autumn School 2010 is now available via YouTube.

Almost all of the tutorial material from the Autumn School is now available for viewing – many thanks to Greg Wilson for both running the show and permitting it to be put online!

We've provided a number of playlists to break down the footage into sections according to subject:

Software Carpentry: Python I
A first introduction to Python for complete beginners
Software Carpentry: Python II
Test-driven software construction; exploiting the ability to use functions as first-class objects to make your code simpler, more robust, and more general
Software Carpentry: Python III
Dictionary objects and file handling in Python
Software Carpentry: Databases
Simple database management for experimental data using SQLite
“Bits of Evidence”
A thought-provoking talk about the relationship between science and programming
Software Carpentry: Python IV
Using Python libraries; guest introduction to audio processing from Ben Fields

If you'd like to watch the whole thing, we also have one massive playlist that includes all of the footage we have, in the order it was recorded: Software Carpentry Autumn School 2010. Be warned, this playlist has 76 videos and is over 8 hours long!

MLSP Prizes for Reproducibility: Winners announced!

Announcing the winners of the MLSP 2014 and SoundSoftware.ac.uk Prizes for Reproducibility in Signal Processing, organised by SoundSoftware.ac.uk in conjuction with the IEEE Signal Processing Society for the 2014 IEEE International Workshop on Machine Learning for Signal Processing.

SoundSoftware 2014: Videos now available!

The SoundSoftware 2014 workshop, our third annual workshop on software and data in audio and music research, was just as enjoyable as the previous two. Because so much research in this field ends up being expressed through software, a software workshop turns out to be all about the means by which research becomes useful and relevant to people other than the original researchers—fertile ground for interesting and thought-provoking talks.

The workshop videos are now available online at http://soundsoftware.ac.uk/soundsoftware2014, so if you weren't able to make it in person, catch up here!

Our third annual one-day workshop on Software and Data for Audio and Music Research takes place on the 8th of July 2014 at Queen Mary, University of London. The workshop includes talks on issues such as robust software development for audio and music research, reproducible research in general, management of research data, and open access.
