Training Feedback
The Programming in ParaViewtraining took place on 6-7 September 2016 and it was held at the Kitware Europe Offices in Lyon, France. The training was given by the expert in computer science, Mathieu Westphal and it provided the ESRs with useful information from how to visualize and process data using ParaView to how to program in ParaView and create plugins. Overall, it was an interesting and interactive training which mixed theory and application with a set of tutorials and exercises.
Learning how to use ParaView properly in order to visualize and manipulate data was very important for the ESRs, since most of them use this tool in their daily processes. Moreover, the information provided on how to use the already available ParaView plugins and how to program new ones was really helpful for the ESRs to understand how they could create a common platform (API) for exchanging data between their different workflows.
