The class is designed to give students a thorough understanding of
all aspects of software development for chemo-and bioinformatics, as
well as a broader experience of working in a small scientific
computing group. Topics include programming for the web, drawing and
depiction of chemical and biological structures in 2D and 3D, science
informatics toolkits, software API's, artificial intelligence and
machine-learning algorithm development, high performance computing,
database management, managing a small software development group, and
design and usability of science informatics software. Special
lectures will also be given by invited guests from the scientific
software industry. The course work will involve development of part
or whole of a science informatics software system.
