This one day course focuses on using the CSC environment which has been tailored for researchers to be easy and efficient for scientific use. The CSC environment offers a very large selection of scientific software which can be used in many ways, which will be covered during the day. Basic unix skills are needed. If you are unsure of your Linux skills, we highly recommend to participate in the "Introduction to Linux" course (1.-2. Oct.)  and/or have a look at the materials listed below in additional information.  Attending the previously given "Advanced Linux" course (26.-27. Oct.) is an asset for this course.

If Linux is not familiar, you can prepare by looking at the materials of previous workshops:
