2025 Q-Chem Developer Workshop
The 2025 Q-Chem Developer Workshop will be happening in-person on July 26th from 9AM—5PM at the University of Pittsburgh (Eberly 307). This free workshop is open to all Q-Chem developers regardless of experience, and will provide an introduction to developing in Q-Chem.
Topics will include introductory materials for beginners (proper use of debuggers, tips for troubleshooting compilation errors, and the Q-Chem development cycle), as well as materials for more advanced developers. The team will also include practical exercises to help solidify the concepts, and time will be allocated for answering general questions from developers.
