We are considering adding a 1 day workshop on NetCDF-Java to the Unidata training workshops in October. If we go ahead with it, there may be limited room, but we also may be able to webcast it. We would like to know how much overall interest there is, and what specific topics people might be interested in. Below is a strawman of the topics we've thought of. Any feedback on these topics or other ones would be most welcome. We'd especially like to know if anyone is interested in the advanced topics in a practical way, eg actually implementing classes for their own data. ======================================================================= NetCDF Java Workshop (1 day) for intermediate/advanced Java programmers ----------------------- Intermediate topics: Overview of the Common Data Model Overview of the API How do I make my data viewable in the IDV? The ToolsUI client as an aid for developers. Remote access OPeNDAP HTTP THREDDS NcML Dataset / Aggregation ----------------- Advanced topics: Writing an I/O Service Provider This is used to read other file formats into the CDM, ie make them look like NetCDF files. Writing a Coordinate System Builder How to add Coordinate Systems to CDM files. Writing a Datatype implementation How to write implementations of the Scientific Data Type interfaces, eg Point/Station Observations, Radar files, Trajectories, etc. =============================================================================== To unsubscribe netcdf-java, visit: http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/mailing-list-delete-form.html ===============================================================================
