About the HeFDI Code School Advanced Track 

The HeFDI Code School Advanced Track offers 4 online workshops in collaboration with the colleagues from Suresoft and NFDI4Ing. The workshop series is intended for experienced developers to learn methods and techniques to increase the quality of their code, how to produce understandable and therefore reusable code, and to increase the sustainability of scientific software.

These workshops are directed at researchers who already have experience with developing scientific software, and therefore require general knowledge of a programming language and a merely basic understanding of object-oriented programming and versioning.
