Topics Covered:
* Logging in to the cluster
* Navigating JupyterHub
* Understanding available partitions
* Running interactive and batch jobs
* Efficient use of storage
* Proper use of different queues
* Containers and virtual environments
* Use of the available GPU resources
* Integrating Visual Studio Code with the cluster (please install Visual Studio Code beforehand if you wish to follow along)
