The Arches team at the Getty Conservation Institute is pleased to invite interested web developers to apply to attend an *Arches 4-Day Technical Training Course for Web Developers* from *November 12-15, 2018* in *Swindon, UK*. The overriding goal of this training course is to give web developers the knowledge and skill set to customize and extend the core functionality of the latest release of the Arches platform.
The number of participants will be restricted to ensure maximum attention from the instructors. During the four days, topics such as the following will be covered: *Day 1/November 12 (Preparatory Sessions)* · One-on-one Arches Installation Troubleshooting · Overview of the Django web framework in Arches · Arches’ use of Knockout.js in building the user interface · Deploying Arches *Days 2-4/November 13-15 (Web Developer Training)* · Core technologies and architecture of Arches · Software development patterns and Arches’ code-base conventions · Understanding how to develop new or extend existing datatypes and their associated widgets · Implementing data validation and indexing as part of creating new datatypes/widgets · Developing Card Components as a means for manipulating data and implementing custom user interfaces · Working with geospatial data ** Note that the course will not cover general data modeling concepts, graph models or the intricacies of designing resource models in Arches, nor will it cover the CIDOC-CRM ontology. * The Getty Conservation Institute will cover all costs for the development of the course and the creation of the training materials, which will be made freely available on the ArchesProject GitHub repository for the community to use. We hope that community members will build on this repository to enhance and extend the course materials over time. However, to recover some of the costs associated with holding the training course this November in Swindon, the GCI is asking participants to contribute £1500, which will include all instruction, coffee/tea breaks, and lunches for 4 days. A very limited number of scholarships may be available. *Summary* *What:* Arches 4-Day Technical Training Course for Web Developers *When:* November 12-15, 2018 *Where:* Swindon, UK *Who should attend:* Python/JavaScript web developers (preferably those who have had some exposure to Arches) *Cost:* £1500, which includes 4-days of instruction, coffee/tea breaks, and lunch for 4 days. *Qualifications/How to apply:* This course will be highly technical with hands-on coding, and all participants will need to be comfortable coding in Python and JavaScript in order to follow the instruction.
