Graduate Student Seminar with Abe Flores on Effective coding practices are essential for success in computational physics research

Effective coding practices are essential for success in computational physics research. I will discuss the necessary tools to start any programming project, large or small. I plan on doing (attempting) a live calculation on the local physics cluster to demonstrate what steps are needed to run code on a cluster nicely. I will outline some general programming practices that will help you become a better programmer in the future. Overall, I aim to provide some basic knowledge of what a physics student should know about computing.
