Source code for the BMI Live clinic at the 2017 CSDMS Annual Meeting

BMI Live

Code for the BMI Live clinic held at the 2017 CSDMS Annual Meeting, May 23-25, in Boulder, Colorado.

The Goal

Given a model, wrap it in a BMI in realtime. We also hope show some best practices in Python development.

The Plan

1. Start with a model
2. View the list of BMI methods and their signatures at http://bmi-python.readthedocs.io
3. Together, implement the BMI methods for our model!
4. Test the results in a Jupyter Notebook (and make a plot, maybe using widgets!)

The Requirements

• Laptop
• Text editor
• Python distribution (we recommend the Anaconda Python 2.7 distribution)
• Optionally, a GitHub account, and git or GitHub Desktop
