These exercises were done in C or FORTRAN (for those who enjoy programming with an archaic twist) and designed to be simple enough for newcomers into programming, whilst still maintaining enough interesting and clever handling of parameters to tickle the intellect of programming enthusiasts. There was also no shortage of staff members or local experts meandering around, ready to assist at the first sign of their summoning, so the hands-on sessions certainly added a lot to the learning experience of the program.
The social side of things were also very well organised and included a very scenic canal tour and a meal at one of the finest restaurants I've had the pleasure of visiting. All in all, it was a productive couple of weeks and a nice little adventure to the dutch lands.
