News

There will be no CSLP lecture next week. The next CSLP lecture willbe on Friday 2nd November.

As of Tuesday, Xcode is now available on all the Open Access LabApple Macs in the Main Library in George Square.

If you are developing on the Macs in the library you do not need toinstall Xcode.We see first how to install Xcode if you are working on your (Mac)laptop.
