Getting Started with Epics Lecture Series at APS
The ASD Controls and AOD BCDA groups at Argonne National Laboratory
coordinated a series of lectures entitled "Getting Started with EPICS" in
2004-2005. The lectures were grouped in sessions targeted towards those
interested in using EPICS tools, those interested in developing EPICS-enabled
programs, and those interested in working with EPICS Input/Output Controller
(IOC) software.
All of the lectures were recorded and have been made available as an integrated
video and slide presentation using SofTV (this is the best way to view them if
you can use it). In case your browser does not meet the
SofTV viewer requirements, Real
Video and PDF slides of the presentation are also provided [Linux users will
need RealPlayer - HelixPlayer doesn't work].

handout, and PowerPoint slides.
