This is an exemplar project designed to showcase best practices in developing scientific software as part of the ReCoDE Project at Imperial College London.
**You do not need to know or care about Markov Chain Monte Carlo for this to be useful to you.**
Rather this project is primarily designed to showcase the tools and practices available to you when developing scientific software projects. Maybe you are a PhD student just starting, or a researcher just about to embark on a larger scale software project - there should be something interesting here for you.
## Table of contents
1. [A short introduction][intro]
1. [Organising code and python packaging][packaging]
1. [Testing your code][testing]
1. Python packages and environments: Pip, Conda, setup.py and all that.
1. Planning out a larger software project
1. Using Jupyter Notebooks during development
1. Documentation
1. Reproducibility of software outputs
1. Citing software in a publication: CITATION.cff
## How to use this repository
Take a look at a the table of contents below and see if there are any topics that might be useful to you. The actual code lives in `./code` and the documentation in `./learning`
When you're ready to dive in you have three options:
### 1. Launch them in Binder (easiest but a bit slow)
[![Binder](https://mybinder.org/badge_logo.svg)](https://mybinder.org/v2/gh/TomHodson/ReCoDE_MCMCFF/HEAD?labpath=learning%2F01%20Introduction.ipynb)
### 2. Clone the repo and run the jupyter notebooks locally. (Faster but requires you have python/jupyter installed)
```
git clone
cd
pip install -r requirements.txt
jupyter lab
```
### 3. View them non-interactively in GitHub via the links in the table of contents
