Hi, will the CADET tutorials in the workshop this year to be recorded as videos and made available online? I’m new to CADET and am eager to delve deeper into its functionalities. Unfortunately, I won’t be able to travel to Germany for the event. Offering these tutorials online would greatly benefit me and many other international users who are new to the platform. I believe making tutorial videos online would greatly enhance the promotion of this amazing chromatography development package.

Our workshop format strongly relies on active participation and interaction with the participants. It is intended to provide a forum to meet in person and connect with peer CADET developers and users.

However, the online tutorial is available for self-study, and you can always ask specific questions in this forum.

Hello @shubo , welcome to the forum!

You can also join us at the monthly CADET-Office hours. The next one is at 4th of October, 3 pm MET.

In addition to the tutorial linked by Eric von Lieres, here’s a link to the documentation for CADET-Process, an abstraction interface to CADET.
