At last week's EGI Forum in Manchester, we ran a day of bootcamp "highlights". These were 1.5 hour taster sessions drawn from bootcamp sessions. Our sessions covered,

Using version control to record provenance and collaborate more easily.
Using testing to help ensure your software, and results, are correct.
Data management using a NoSQL database to manage your data more easily.

We had 15-20 attendees for each session, mostly from a computer science or software development background, and in systems support or technical roles. The interests of the attendees were on the specific technologies covered in each session (Git, Python and nosetests, MongoDB) rather than the concepts underlying these, as most attendees were already familiar with these.
