Dear all,

Kitware will be holding a Slicer training course on March 25th 2019 in Lyon, France. This one-day course will cover Slicer interface, loading and manipulating dataset (registration and manual segmentation) and an introduction on writing your own modules/plugins.

Please visit our website for more information, registration details and other trainings (ITK, VTK, ParaView…):

Note that the course will be taught in English. If you have any questions, please contact us at training at [kitware.fr](http://kitware.fr/) or email me directly.

We are looking forward to seeing you in Lyon,

Hi Julien,

Thank you for organizing this training programme. Unfortunately I am unable to participate but do you have any other options please.

I am an orthopaedic surgical fellow in Australia, and I use slicer a lot for my research work. I d like to be able to do simple python scripts to facilitate my work. apart from tutorials ( I ve gone through almost everything relevant to me) are there any online courses/ webinars etc. I have no programming knowledge ( I am training to become a surgeon) but keen to be able to do simple scripts.

At the moment I am manually transferring 800 numbers one by one foe each of my scans, ( tracking data) from slicer to excel because I do not know how to do a script in Python.

Your advice is much appreciated.

Thanks

Kind regards

Melanie

Hi Melanie,

Have you considered these resources:

- [https://www.slicer.org/wiki/Documentation/Nightly/Training#Tutorials\_for\_software\_developers](https://www.slicer.org/wiki/Documentation/Nightly/Training#Tutorials_for_software_developers)
- [https://www.slicer.org/wiki/Documentation/Nightly/ScriptRepository](https://www.slicer.org/wiki/Documentation/Nightly/ScriptRepository)

You may want to create a new topic on Discourse, explain a bit more your need and ask for some guidelines.

Best regards,  
Julien.

Hi @Melanie -

You might look into ResBaz - there have been some good Slicer training resources there and the organizers would probably appreciate feedback about your research interests: [https://resbaz.github.io/resbaz2018/](https://resbaz.github.io/resbaz2018/)

I agree with @finetjul that posting a problem statement on discourse could also help.

Best,  
Steve
