Description
The ATLAS software tutorial is a centrally organized suite of educational materials that helps to prepare newcomers for work in ATLAS. The broad objective is to familiarize participants with the basic skills needed to accomplish data analysis tasks, with a strong focus on software tools. In this talk, we will outline the recent changes to the ATLAS software tutorial to follow a project-based pedagogy. The tutorial walks through all the key stages of a published ATLAS analysis, including topics from Monte Carlo generation, analysis optimization techniques, usage of the computing grid and statistics. We will also discuss some of the preliminary feedback from the pilot program and early trials of the new tutorial format.
