| description: | Our tools just keep getting better and better. One of the best things about Python is its ability to function as a super glue language. This tutorial will teach participants about how to glue C++ and Python together in a natural and easy way. The first half of this tutorial will be a lecture (with examples) on the Cython and xdress tools. The second half will be a hands-on workshop where the participants and the instructor will jointly work through real world examples. Participants are encouraged to bring their own codes and problems to the workshop portion. The participants can dramatically increase the chance of their code base being being examined by emailing the instructor prior to the course. |
