Howdy campers. I've just posted a new version of the SLiM Workshop at its usual spot, http://benhaller.com/workshops/workshops.html. The new version is version 10; if you go to that page and see information about an older workshop version number, please reload the page in your browser.

The new version is extensively updated for SLiM 4.2, and has some nice new material about continuous-space modeling, tree-sequence recording, and multispecies modeling, among other improvements. SLiM 4.2 is required to do it; some parts of it will not be compatible with older SLiM versions.

It no longer uses audio recordings and PDF slides; instead, there are recorded video lectures (by yours truly). This makes the download somewhat bigger, but is much easier to watch. It also provides the possibility (as yet unrealized) of subtitles overlaid on the videos.

Please let me know if you see any problems with the lectures, worksheets, or solutions; it's hard to review and revise such a large amount of material. Happy modeling!
