# Intro to Linux shell and to Computing resources available for researchers
This course is especially suitable to new researchers or students trying to understand computational/data analysis options available at UiO and in general. It won’t go into anything too deep but will provide you with a good background for your next steps to use the resources: you will know the general types of resources you can use for computing, and be able to take the next steps.

Time and place: Jan. 29, 2021 11:00 AM–1:00 PM, Online

## Course contents and format

It consists of two parts:

- **Computing resources**: What is available for you and when to use them and for which purpose. It starts with a lecture on general introduction and continues with institute-specific part.
- **Basic Linux shell introduction**: Shell is essential to use some of the computing resources and useful to efficiently conduct data-intensive work

This is a new model of collaborative online course: A joint presentation is given to several universities, with a separate local discussion about local practicalities.  Register here to attend the UiO-specific discussion room.

## Software requirements
No special software is required. 

~~One is able to attend this workshop even without any software installed.~~

But, you may be interested in getting access to a bash shell for the "Basic Linux shell" portion.  See [workshop preparation](https://scicomp.aalto.fi/training/scip/intro-linux-aalto-computing/#preparation). ~~A UiO shell server is available via ssh at `FIXME` - see LINK for instructions on how to use it.~~

## Schedule
Please connect 10 minutes early for icebreakers and introductions. 

- 11:00 - 11:45 Computing resources - General introduction (by Twitch) followed by institute specific discussion (in a separate Zoom room for registered UiO participants)
- 11:45 - 12:00 Break
- 12:00 - 12:45 Introduction to Linux shell (Richard Darst & Enrico Glerean at Aalto Scientific Computing, Aalto University, Finland)
- 12:45 - 13:00 Q&A
## Location
The workshop will be held online. All the parts are streamed by Twitch.tv at at [the CodeRefinery channel](https://www.twitch.tv/coderefinery).  

UiO-specific contents of "Computing resources" will be presented and discussed using Zoom. The link will be provided to registered and accepted participants.

## Registration
If you intend to follow the stream only, you don't have to register.

If you would like to join in the Zoom session to know UiO-specific computing resources, please register by Thursday 28th January 12:00.
