Why you should attend:
Millions of lines of code have been developed to support scientific research. Although an increasingly important part of almost all research projects, most of this software is barely fit for purpose compared with equivalent systems in the commercial world. The code is hard to understand and maintain, lacking documentation and version control, and is continually "re-invented" as the software developers move on to new projects.
This webinar will investigate how this situation has come about, why it is important to the future of research, and what can be done about it.
