Welcome! These are materials associated with the
'Programming for Social Scientists' Summer School.
You're very welcome to work through them independent of that. There's ~70 hours of materials/practicals.
The lectures teach Java, and the practicals
demonstrate this by building a basic Agent-Based Model.
The Summer School uses these materials,
but also offers a week-long period of support, two days of which are given over to developing your own
code. We're not sure of the details for the 2016 School yet, but feel free to email
Andy Evans if you want to be sent details later.

see who is using the materials and hear how we can make things more useful. If you're working
