The UAUUG organised two workshops on adjacent days. The workshops were held in the Lascelles Williams Training Room, Manchester Computing, Oxford Road, Manchester.

Using Gsharp

Tuesday 26 March 2002 -- 10:00 - 17:00

The morning session covered:
Using Gsharp, getting used to the toolbars, the editors, the browser, the DataManager, saving and exporting

The afternoon session covered:
Graphics - making charts, contouring, interpolation and vectors

The talk was designed to be for somebody with no experience of Gsharp. Material was presented in HTML and so could be added to university websites training and reference web-sites.

The structure of AVS/Express

Wednesday 27 March 2002 -- 10:00 - 17:00

This workshop gave an explanation of the general principles behind AVS/Express, the modular concept of it. It included the installation procedure and gave hints on possible pitfalls.

The main target was to give an understanding why AVS/Express works in the way it does. It was not intended to give an introductory course as such containing the explanation of single modules. It showed how to install and use IAC modules and explain why we have to do these steps.

A hands on session of the installation process for IAC modules and uAUug Cookbook was planned for the afternoon.

Notes from the event:

• Presentation by Mary McDerby and Tobias Schiebeck (6.2Mb PDF file)
• AVS Module Download Guide (370kb PDF file)
• Checklist for using IAC Modules with AVS/Express (104kb PDF file)

For both days, the only charge was to cover the cost of lunch.
