From the prerequisities for this workshop:
- Experience with Python programming or a similar programming language.
- Experience with using Visual Studio Code for working with code.
- A laptop with administrator access.
This means that at a minimum, before coming to the workshop, you should have
- installed Visual Studio Code on your laptop
- have administrator rights, if necessary temporary for the duration of the workshop (ask your local IT folks)
- installed Python or a similar programming language (for example, R should be fine too)
Further notes:
- We may at the end work with models that run locally on your laptop, for this a more recent laptop with a good GPU is preferred.
- Knowing the basics of version control is a benefit.
- Knowing the basics of LLMs and their usage is a benefit but not an absolute requirement.
