If you're the kind of bioinformatician who is interested in using Grid or Web Services, then the Practical High Throughput Computing for Bioinformatics course held at Imperial College London, on the 16th to 20th July, would probably be worth attending.

Grid Computing already plays an important role in the life sciences, and will probably continue doing so for the forseeable future. BioGrid (Japan), ^myGrid (UK) and CoreGrid (Europe) are just three current examples, there are many more Grid and Super Duper Computer projects in the life sciences. So, is there an accessible Hitch Hikers Guide to the Grid for newbies, especially bioinformaticians?
