Setting up your system

Check if you have this set up:

  • Jupyter + the SciJava kernel (https://github.com/scijava/scijava-jupyter-kernel)
    • Install Miniconda if you do not have installed it or Anaconda already. (We need the version for Python 3!)
    • Your .bashrc or .zshrc will need a line like this: export PATH="/Users/someforders/miniconda3/bin:$PATH"

    • Make a new conda environment and install jupyter and scijava-jupiter-kernel:

       conda create --name scijava python=3
 source activate scijava
 conda install jupyter
 conda config --add channels conda-forge
 conda install scijava-jupyter-kernel
    • Now (and in the future) you will have to activate the environment we just created: source activate scijava.
    • Deactivation would work like this: source deactivate

    • Get some notebook to try it out:

      git clone git@github.com:scijava/scijava-jupyter-kernel
cd scijava-jupyter-kernel
jupyter notebook
    • Execute cells by hitting shift+enter—enjoy!
  • Eclipse (Neon)
  • bash / zsh
  • GIT
  • Maven
  • Gitter

This can happen later:

  • imglyb (forget that for now)

Ops practical

Write your first Command plugin!

  • Try to do it completely on your own, using Internet resources.
  • If you get stuck, click on hint links.
  • If still stuck, grab a teacher!

Details of your assignment:

  • Create a Git repository.
  • Create a Maven project. (hints: 1, 2)
  • Implement a Command plugin in your IDE, which calculates the mean across an image. (hints: 1, 2)
  • Push to GitHub (hints: 1, 2).

If you get that far, YOU WIN. Florian Jug has a reward for you.

Extra credit:

  • Grab fun snippets from the “Introduction to Ops” Jupyter notebook.
  • Integrate them into your command, to make it do fancier things.

How to create a new git repository

This is, from my (Hanslovsky) point of view, the best way to create a new git repository. All commands should run on Linux, OSX, and the git bash shell on Windows.

  • Create a new repository on github.com (choose not to add a README.md or .gitignore), e.g. with name ‘awesome-learnathon’
  • On your local machine create a directory where you would like to have the repository and cd into it: mkdir 'awesome-learnathon' && cd 'awesome-learnathon'
  • Initalize local git repository: git init
  • Add remote repository as origin: git remote add -f origin git@github.com:user/awesome-learnathon or git remote add -f origin https://github.com/user/awesome-learnathon if you did not set up git through ssh. The -f parameter fetches from the remote repository
  • Create a first file, e.g. pom.xml, and stage it for a commit: git add pom.xml
  • Commit the stage files with commit message: git commit -m 'Add pom.xml'
  • Push your commit: git push --set-upstream origin master (you can ommit --set-upstream origin master in future commits)

Tuesday

Git repos to clone:

Optional practical for you to do on your own:

Wednesday

Git repos to clone:

  • Preparation for the imglyb session on Thursday:
    • Please follow the installation instructions and install imglyb through conda.
    • If you are a Windows user, please pair up with a OSX or Linux user, or download the VirtualBox Ubuntu appliance. We also have (at least) one MacBook that is available for use during that session. First come first serve!

Thursday

imglib2-algorithm

We will look at the examples in the algorithm.morphology package of the imglib2-advanced-workshop to get familiar with the use of existing algorithms in imglib2-algorithm.

imglyb

The jupyter notebooks in the imglyb-learnathon repository cover basic and advanced use of the imglyb compatibility layer for imglib2 and numpy. Please follow the instructions below to make sure your machine is prepared for the tutorial. Clone the imagey repository to access CPython through ImageJ.

Friday

Git repos to clone:

Awesome stuff that happened too:

  • Discussion time
    • The future of the imagej forum…
    • The problem of missing funding…
    • Stable releases (coming in December).
    • A system to track what a workflow should cite…
  • Headless with Fiji (ignoring legacy problems)
  • ImgLib2 ROIs (https://github.com/imglib/imglib2-roi/tree/shape-rois), a preview to what will/might come soon!
