Register now for the following upcoming trainings at TACC: CMake with Victor Eijkhout Friday April 12, 2024  |  9AM – 12PM CST This tutorial will be on site only at TACC:Texas Advanced Computing Center Advanced Computing Building (ACB) J.J. Pickle Research Campus, Building 205 10100 Burnet Rd Austin, TX 78758 . Overview:CMake is a build system for packages -- applications and libraries -- written in C++, C, or Fortran. It is also the basis of an eco-system, making it possible for one package to find another, and incorporate it. This short course covers CMake in three increasingly sophisticated stages: Help! This software uses CMake! Help! I want to write my own CMake configuration! Help! I want other people to use my CMake package! Participants will need to arrive with: laptop with Unix shell, recent version of CMake, compiler.  Register here: https://tacc.utexas.edu/use-tacc/training/2024/cmake/ Parking information will be sent prior to the event date.  Webinar: Version Control with Git + CI/CD with GitHub Actions Monday May 13, 2024  |  1PM – 4PM CST(virtual only)Overview:This workshop will cover the essentials of Git, GitHub, and GitHub Actions.
