The UK TeX Users' Group (UK-TUG) will be arranging a presentation of the very popular course 'LaTeX for Beginners: Using LaTeX to Write a Thesis' in the summer. The course will be taking place in London on the 2nd of August 2013, starting at 9:30 am and running to approximately 4:30 pm. Content will include: - Editing and compiling LaTeX documents - Logical structure - Chapters, sections, and other document divisions - Including graphics - Creating tables - Bibliographies - Dealing with large documents The course fee is £20 for current UK-TUG members or £30 for non-members. The fee includes the course itself, refreshments on the day and a copy of the TeX Live 2012 DVD. For non-members, it also includes membership of UK-TUG for until the end of 2013. Attendees will need to bring a laptop along to the event, although it may be possible to arrange a loan machine for a limited number of people on the day. The venue is UEA London, which is approximately five minutes walk from Liverpool Street station. Provisional bookings should be made by e-mailing secretary@uk.tug.org. Confirmation of the booking, including the course fee, needs to be made within four weeks of the provisional booking. Full details of the course location, etc., will be provided to confirmed attendees.
Take up on the course has been slower than we've seen previously. I'd encourage members to 'spread the word': running the course is an important part of UK-TUG activities, but can only take place if prospective 'students' hear about it! http://uk.tug.org/
