Opening up your research to the web

Greg Hale, Applications/Technical Specialist

Enrollment: Limited: First come, first served (no advance sign-up)
Attendance: Participants welcome at individual sessions
Prereq: N/A

Do you have a dataset that you want to share, an algorithm that predicts diseases from gene mutations, or a neat way to visualize data? Maybe these things want to live and work on the internet. Bring your ideas, and we will look at (maybe even implement!) some of the tools for crossing the chasm from screenshots of your local solution to a working resource the whole world could
use.

Topics will depend on the interests of people in the course. We may look at building and hosting web pages, sharing small or large datasets, Amazon Web Services, interactive svg figures in web pages, and writing public API servers. The focus will be on doing these things without too much disruption to your normal research routine, and on building the confidence to go further in your own explorations
in web development.
