Part 1: Introducing a modular simulation platform for non-programmers

Why SpaDES, what it is for, and how does it help us? Plus: importing modules and running fairly simple simulations from pre-made modules

• Google Drive - Contains Powerpoint, module code for LCC2005 example
• What is SpaDES?

Part 2: Getting started with SpaDES in R

How to start from the beginning, making simple modules, making modules interact

• My first SpaDES module - from `R` to `SpaDES`
• SpaDES4Dummies - Building new modules, and connecting them

Reference -- Developer's topics for reference

Advanced topics that can be helpful while going through the modules

• simList -- What is in it?
• Modules -- The nitty gritty details
• Modules -- Integrating among modules
• Sharing modules and data
• Simulation experiments and replication
• R -- developing powerful skills
• R -- Profiling code

Reference -- Links to SpaDES wiki pages and vignettes

These are key to working with SpaDES, they are on the wiki or in vignettes

• Debugging
• Caching
• Plotting
