CASA agenda

Agenda for CASA workshop 2010 March 31 - April 1

Please download and install CASA in advance. If you have any problems please contact us in advance. See Using CASA for links, scripts and data. Some of the examples are also bundled inside your CASA distributon although the scripts may be more complex. The essentials are covered in the first morning. If you feel you need more basic practice you can carry on with the first example instead of more specialised topics in later sessions. On the other hand, if you are happy with the basics, there are more advanced examples provided or you can bring data of your own to try out.
