The curriculum goes far beyond the knowledge of most IT professionals (not to mention our current graduate students), as it is focused on research; IT pros don't normally know much about, say, Python libraries for machine learning or signal processing.
- dubya 12y agoThey won't know how to use specific libraries, but they can sometimes help with things like how to install iPython on a Mac or Windows machine. It does seem like some of this would make a good online course. There's some good stuff here http://faculty.washington.edu/rjl/classes/am583s2013/notes/index.html http://faculty.washington.edu/rjl/classes/am583s2013/notes/i... which goes with the "High performance scientific computing" Coursera course, and of course there's the Software Carpentry site.
