Recently, I’ve been working on a new course offering in Enthought Academy titled Software Engineering for Scientists and Engineers course. I’ve focused on distilling the software engineering best practices that we use at Enthought with our clients, with the twist of “what parts are most useful for a scientist who writes software for R&D?” After all, we don’t want to simply replicate an academic 12-week course in software engineering; instead, we want to teach the subset of ideas that will make the most impact on scientific programming projects in the least amount of time. Unfortunately, I lost track of time and ran into my deadline for this blog. Panic time? Not this year.

This year, I have a trusty assistant who can draft an article for me!
