When should I apply?
The deadline to apply for the Barcelona Summer courses Programme is June 30th, 2023. Therefore, we recommend applying as soon as possible to ensure that there is a place available within the course (and to have time to process your visa application, if required).
Visa support
All applicants are responsible for their own visas. In the case you should need assistance, Harbour.Space issues an official personalized invitation letter necessary for visa purposes.
We kindly ask participants to come prepared to avoid wasting time configuring your computer system at the event.
What are the technical requirements?
The requirements are as follows:
Any browser would work with the testing system, no special clients are required for the system.
The testing will be run on computers based on Linux.
To compile programmes written in C/C++ on Linux-based laptops you will need a compiler compatible with gcc 4.9 (or higher); Geany or Code::Blocks of the latest version are recommended as IDE. Similar or newer versions of compilers are recommended for Mac users as well.
For Windows it is recommended to use Code::Blocks (if possible, choose the distribution kit with a compiler included) and Geany; using Visual Studio is recommended starting from Visual Studio 2013 (although for full compatibility it's better to have Code::Blocks and a gcc port).
To compile and debug programmes written in Java it is recommended to use the latest version of Oracle JDK. As IDE you can use Eclipse and IntelliJ IDEA.
