All the tools you'll need to master to achieve your PhD!

---++ Teaching Lab Skills for Computer scientists
Some very useful free tips and classes about programming for scientists:
https://software-carpentry.org/

Also on this website, the very nice PhD starter kit.

---++ The PhD Tools you'll learn to love (presentation made on November 2014 & September 2015 by Thomas):

   * http://prezi.com/vxy7sjkra_td/?utm_campaign=share&utm_medium=copy

---++ Compare the library managers (Mendeley, Zotero, etc...)

https://www.readcube.com/compare

   * Zotero:
   * Mendeley:
   * Readcube: (02/20/2015) seems nice. I like the framework and some features ( *especially the discovery engine* that will propose new articles based on your current biblio) but only the pro version will allow you to save and sync your library on the cloud and multiple devices :'( - maybe you can do that through another client like Dropbox though.
   * Papers for Mac: Solenn finds it very useful. You can get a license for free from support-info. Easy searching and organizing from within the application. Manual/automatic librairies. Many filters. Easy drag and drop into your LateX editor. Works with bilbioplanet access codes from the lab or not.

---++ Use LaTeX efficiently with LaTeXTips
There is also a subsection on TeXshopTips for mac users

For templates on Beamer (presentations), Posters, articles, drawings using LateX, contact solenn.vaupre@univ-grenoble-alpes.fr.<br />
Templates will be uploaded to this page when got time.

---++ Go to the [[IDLtheque][PhD IDL library]]

---++ Mac users (coming soon ?)

Do not get Yosemite!! Do get El Capitan.

Shell and Terminals: Customize your terminal (shortcuts, fonctions, ....), learn basic shell
<br/>
Aquamacs, neat Emacs application for mac

*Do you need to solve freezing/disconnecting issues when logged on a lab server ?* The following advises are for you.
   1 Log on on the server
   2 Go to *.ssh/config* with your editor (eMacs, etc)
   3 Put the following lines : <br/>
      *Host* * <br/>
      *ForwardX11 yes* <br/>
      *ForwardAgent yes* <br/>
      *ServerAliveInterval 60* <br/>
 <br/>
 It should solve your problems. Note that the ForwardAgent is needed only if you are using the RM key process (see on the [[http://ipag.osug.fr/twiki/bin/view/Ipag/Intranet/InfoDocAgentSsh][intranet]])
