M235: Mathematica Development using Wolfram Workbench

Course Objective This course provides an introduction to developing Mathematica projects using Wolfram Workbench.

Presenter The course is presented by a Wolfram Research senior developer or a Wolfram Education Group certified instructor.

Target Audience This course was written for people interested in creating Mathematica code using the tools available in Wolfram Workbench, a state-of-the-art integrated development environment.

Delivery Type The course is delivered in one three-to-four-hour session, either online or as an instructor-led class in a computer classroom facility. Additional online training information is available. All classes feature low student-teacher ratios.

Syllabus

Wolfram Workbench IDE (Integrated Development Environment)
An introduction to the core concepts at the heart of the Workbench interface
Working with Mathematica Projects
A detailed look at all of the features provided for creating and editing Mathematica code from within Workbench
Debugging, Testing, and Profiling
An in-depth look at how to debug Mathematica code, how to build and use test suites as part of the development process, and how to profile code

Course Materials Each attendee will be provided with Mathematica course notebooks and access to the current version of Mathematica. The course notebooks require Mathematica or Mathematica Player. For attendees participating in classroom-based sessions, course materials are distributed in print and on CD-ROM, and are yours to keep; a computer running Mathematica is available for your use during class. For attendees participating in online classes, a download of the course materials is provided; a temporary Mathematica training license is provided upon request.

Prerequisites Course attendees are expected to have basic familiarity with Mathematica, especially package creation, approximately equivalent to that provided by "M101: A First Course in Mathematica."
