The tutorials below have pages with revised instructions for setting
up a laptop before the tutorial session, or other communications from
instructors to participants.

If you don't see the tutorials(s) you're taking in the list below and
want to know how to prepare your laptop, check for prerequisites or
instructions listed with the tutorial description via the Tutorial
Schedule
. For many
tutorials the setup is very simple and is handled in the first few
minutes of the tutorial.

Tutorial Preparation Sessions

Tutorial Preparation Sessions are held
from 6:30-8:00PM
on Tuesday and Wednesday in the Registration area.
You can get help there setting up your laptop for the tutorials.

Use virtualenv

You may want to make installations for your tutorials using virtualenv (particularly if you are taking more than one tutorial).
Virtualenv is part of Python-3.3. If your tutorial is using Python-2.7, install current versions of virtualenv and pip.
There will be a virtualenv orientation in the Tutorial Preparation Sessions.
