Day 2
-----
4. Coding project - second part. Introduces output, parameter expansion, I/O
redirection, option parsing, 'case' clauses, functions.
5. Exam.
The coding project will be a (hopefully) useful script for bioinformatics, the
point is to get the participants to actually code rather than just watch slides.
Notions will be introduced in the order needed for the coding project, and the
students will be expected to participate in the coding effort by coming up with
ideas and solutions.
