Things to consider: Adding Computer skills and Programming to teaching courses.
If the aim is to train employable crystallographers; consider adding one or two of the following to teaching courses:
- Installing a dual boot UNIX (Linux/FreeBSD) and MS Windows PC; then compiling/installing crystallographic toolkits as part of a medium to advanced crystallographic course. CCP14 based tutorials at:
- Redhat Linux: http://www.ccp14.ac.uk/solution/linux/#install
- FreeBSD: http://www.ccp14.ac.uk/solution/bsdunix/
-
- Crystallographic programming as part of a rigorous crystallographic teaching course.
(Most crystallographic software problems will probably be technical problems with the PC/? operating system)
