Programming course in Perl starts this month for biologists

Brief

An introductory programming course, "Perl for Biologists," will be offered this fall.

The course, designed for biologists who have never programmed before, provides instruction on the skills required to automate data access and handling in the lab. The course also will introduce some techniques for modeling biological data and processes.

The course consists of six classes from 1-5 p.m. Oct. 25, 27, 29 and Nov. 1, 2 and 4. Lectures will be interspersed with short programming exercises. There will be no homework. Classes will take place in the Yale computer instruction room, J2-115.

Dr. Carlo Maley, staff scientist in Dr. Brian Reid's laboratory, is the instructor.

The cost of the course is $50, which must be paid from a center budget code. Space is limited to 30. Application procedures can be found online at http://rite.fhcrc.org/.
