The 2017 IUCr Crystallographic Computing School took place at the Molecular Biophysics Unit at the Indian Institute of Science in Bangalore, India. It introduced modern methods of programming crystallographic calculations in a series of lectures and in-depth tutorials by leading crystallographic software developers. Our teachers were drawn from across the crystallographic world and included experts in protein, small-molecule and powder crystallography. By working together, we aimed to share what we know with the next generation of crystallographic developers.
