Developers Training Week
Clifton Park, NY
Fall 2008
Developer's Training Week is a week long series of half day courses for open source visualization and data processing. The courses cover the Visualization Toolkit (VTK: a C++ class library of visualization and data processing algorithms), ParaView (an end-user application focused on large data visualization), the Insight Segmentation and Registration Toolkit (ITK: a C++ class library for image processing, segmentation, and registration), and CMake (a cross-platform software build management tool). The week is designed to be a hands-on experience suitable for both new users of these open source projects as well as advanced developers. Basic knowledge of C++ programming is recommended.
