+## Globus Compute: Managed Compute Across the Computing Continuum
+
+_Kyle Chard and Yadu Babuji_
+
+This tutorial will focus on teaching modern approaches for running code on diverse, remote
+computing resources. As hardware continues to become yet more diverse, it is increasingly
+necessary to be able to effectively make use of remote computing resources. Remote
+computing alongside parallel and distributed computing is now the “norm” rather than a
+specialized use case for only a few power users. RSEs are faced with the challenge of easily,
+securely, and scalably making use of such resources, in applications, workflows, and in building
+gateways, portals and new services. This tutorial will highlight the changing computing
+landscape and illustrate methods to more effectively make use of remote computing resources.
+It will help attendees think about how to decompose applications into smaller computation units
+and consider possibilities to execute these components in the location in which it is most suited,
+for example, near data, where specialized resources are available, where environments exist,
+where allocations are available, etc.

+## Rapid Prototyping for a Usable React-based Web Application with STRUDEL
+
+_Rajshree Deshmukh, Cody O'Donnell, Lavanya Ramakrishnan_
+
+This tutorial will be a hands-on introduction to web application development using STRUDEL, an open source project making it easier for RSEs and domain scientists to build usable user
+interfaces (UIs). Attendees will learn how to go from a UI need, to identifying a Task Flow
+template, and bootstrapping a React-based web UI using STRUDEL. Attendees will get guided
+experience with the STRUDEL toolkit which includes modern web development libraries such as React and Material UI Components.
+
+Usable UIs are a critical need for many research projects. STRUDEL enables developers to
+rapidly prototype usable scientific UIs through a simple template-driven system. The RSE
+Conference is an ideal venue to introduce these tools because they are designed specifically for
+scientific projects and target a broad range of people involved in web application development.

+## Leveraging Django Views and Permissions at Object-Level: The gist of an envisioned solution for managing agricultural datasets
+
+_Diego Menéndez and Danying Shao_
+
+Web applications are increasingly adopted in the research community, e.g. for data collection,
+information dissemination and workflow management. Django is a Python-based open-sourced
+web framework that encourages rapid development by providing an automatic admin interface,
+built-in views and forms. This Django tutorial is based on a simplified version of a real-life,
+science-related project, that limits access to datasets only to the research group that collected
+them. A data owner would be able to supply all necessary metadata and choose an embargo
+period in which the data only has limited access. The tutorial will guide RSEs to create a web
+application from scratch and show how to take advantage of Django’s generic views. In addition
+to Django’s class-level permissions, we will demonstrate an implementation of permissions at
+the object level using the django-guardian package.
+Slides accompanying the code will illustrate the project under development with Use Cases
+as well as a conceptual class diagram and other artifacts.

+## Research Data Automation with Globus Flows and Globus Compute
+
+_Lee Liming and Steve Turoscy_
+
+This tutorial equips Research Software Engineers (RSEs) to automate research data processes
+using Globus Compute  and Globus Flows : two parts of the Globus Platform.
+Globus Compute enables RSEs to securely execute Python functions on remote computers,
+including campus, cloud, and national-scale systems. Globus Flows provides secure, managed
+automation of complex workflows. Together, Globus Compute and Flows enable RSEs to
+construct data processing pipelines that are reliably managed and executed by Globus.

+## GitHub Actions for Scientific Data Workflows
+
+_Valentina Staneva_
+
+In this tutorial we will introduce Github Actions to scientific programmers as a tool for lightweight
+automation of scientific data workflows. We will demonstrate that GitHub Actions are not just a
+tool for software testing, but can be used in various ways to improve the reproducibility and
+impact of scientific analysis. Through a sequence of examples, we will demonstrate some of
+Github Actions' applications to scientific workflows, such as scheduled deployment of algorithms
+to public data streams, updating visualizations based on new data, processing large datasets,
+model versioning, etc. The goal is that participants will leave with their own ideas of how to
+integrate Github Actions in their own work.

+## Overview of GIS Open Source Software Ecosystem and Theory
+
+_Dennis Milechin_
+
+Researchers are finding spatial-analysis as a valuable tool to answer new research questions
+that were not considered before. This is made possible because many of the open source
+spatial analysis tools (GIS Software) are getting easier to use and often provide tools to
+visualize the data in exciting interactive mapping environments. As a Research Software
+Engineer, providing support and troubleshooting errors associated with these GIS tools is not
+always easy. When using a search engine to find a solution, one will encounter GIS terminology
+in documentation and community forums. This terminology will refer to some fundamental
+aspects of GIS theory or components of GIS libraries/software that is common knowledge
+among the GIS community. This tutorial aims to provide a stepping stone to acquiring this
+fundamental GIS knowledge.
