# How I experienced the MOOC Recherche Reproductible
# What I learned in the MOOC Recherche Reproductible
**`Aim of this document:`** report and highlight information learned during the **MOOC Recherche Reproductible** that I judge important for me, considering my *naive* background in informatics :)
**`Aim of this document:`** report and highlight information learned during the **MOOC Recherche Reproductible** that I judge important for my work, considering my *naive* background in informatics :)
**`context of my research:`"" scientific lab, materials sciencie, devices fabrication (different processes, steps and materials), performance and stability tests (several characterization techniques and conditions)
Indeed, there are several ways to take note during experiments, it will depend on the personal habits, on the research field, on the type of projetc (collaborative, personal), etc...
However, in all the scenarios we are prone to take notes or, more precisely, we **need** to **take notes**. Some are more important than others. Some are even useless.
I love taking notes. And I lose myself in the hugh amounts of papers where I write them. I'm a paper person (maybe that is why my informatic skills are not so developed...)
I noted some years ago that my techniques of taking notes are not long lasting, as I am note able to understand them after a few weeks. Thus, I am used to type my notes in the computer.
Still, it is not really organised and I need take to remember where I put some data, if they exists... Sometimes our memory invent thinks!
`What I learned in this module:`
- John Locks technique of indexing : first letter + first vowel of the word. Example: *A*n*a*lyse (Aa)
- There are other programs and formats to take notes (and write texts) besides **Word** and **Notepad**: markup language (LML) or langage de balisage
-**Fichier text:** Un fichier dont le contenu est fait de caractères UTF-8 = garanti perenité et visibilité sur tous les ordinateurs disponibles
-**Balise (markup):** Un caractère, ou une série de caractères, utilisé pour la structuration d’un document et qui sera invisible par le lecteur final
- Markdown:langage de balisage léger
- Pandoc: outils pour convertire un fichier Markdown en un format plus sofistiqué comme PDF et HTML
