 title: "Research Software Engineering with Julia: Basics, Visualization, and Statistics"
+toc: false
 ---
 
-### 📑 Course Brief
 
-Nearly all scientists are writing research software for their analyses - but most did not receive any training for it. We will teach the basics of such **research software engineering**, of visualization and statistics in JuliaLang - a scientific programming language.
+#### :wave: Welcome!
+This websites links all materials (slides + exercises) for the 2023 RSE+Julia Summerschool at SimTech, Stuttgart University
 
-::: {.callout-note appearance="minimal"}
+General information about the summer school can be [found here](https://www.simtech.uni-stuttgart.de/events/simtech-summer-school/SuSch_2/).
-We will have a healthy mix of keynotes from invited lecturers and hands-on sessions.

--   How can I use git beyond "git clone" and "rm \* + git clone"?
+Best, Benedikt, Benjamin, Marco
--   What is continuous integration - and why should I care as a researcher?
--   How do I use unit-testing?
--   What kinds of documentation should I write?
--   Why are these skills that will boost my reproducibility in my projects?
--   Why is Julia so great for RSE?

-### Abstract
-
-The development of research software has become an important part of research projects in many areas of science and engineering. At the same time, increasing computational power in the area of high performance computing has made computationally challenging statistical tasks feasible and highly desirable in many application fields. In this week-long summer school, we will therefore address these different aspects and familiarize you with the most essential paradigms of software development, which support the design of efficient, user-friendly, and sustainable software. In particular, we will focus on the scientific programming language Julia. The summer school is organized around keynote presentations by invited Julia experts and many hands-on tutorials. First, a gentle introduction including packaging, testing, virtualization, interaction, and visualization will supply you with the essential skills you need to use Julia in your research. Afterwards, we build on these skills to implement computationally expensive statistical methods. In particular, we will focus on methods for regression and resampling using bootstrap and permutations. That is, methods addressing two of the most common challenges in statistics: estimation of the relationship between variables of interest and the quantification of uncertainty. You are invited to bring your own problem to apply the skills you learn in this summer school.
