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 on video, but the technology used to replay these no longer works so the video links have been removed.
