Course Outline

This is a course for social and ecological scientists (and anyone else) who fancy learning how to program. It teaches basic Java (see: Why Java) along with a few elements of core programming culture and a few interesting programming examples from these sciences.

The course contains *alot* of materials, so it's often quite hard to keep track of the bigger picture. This page therefore links to overviews of the course components which show how it all fits together.
