MORNING

9 am -> 10 am: An introduction to best practices in code development
Riccardo Hertel IPCMS, CNRS and University of Strasbourg, riccardo.hertel[at]ipcms.unistra.fr

When writing code, the main objective is to obtain a numerical tool capable of reliably performing a specific computational task. Beyond this purely functional aim of having software that is operating correctly, the code development process itself should be as fast and efficient as possible. Moreover, writing clearly and well-structured software is desirable as it facilitates code maintenance and allows it to be easily adapted and reused. Several “best practices” to account for these aspects of code development have been reported in the literature. I will discuss some of such best practices and their importance for working on larger software projects and put them into the context of experience I gained over the past few years in developing scientific simulation software (http://tetmag.readthedocs.io).
