Howdy all!

This summer Unidata is hosting a series of workshops on our various
software packages, including netCDF. I would like to invite users to
register for the workshop, come to Boulder, and learn more about how
Unidata tools can assist in your research.

This year we have split the netCDF material into Basic and Advanced
sessions so that users can select the level of information they are
comfortable with. As the sessions are on different days it's possible
to sign up for both the Basic and Advanced sessions.

Bring your laptop and a way to access your netCDF code to take
advantage of developer help provided during the workshop!

For more information, and to register, see the Unidata workshop
announcement:

I hope to see you there!

Thanks,

Ed
