6	NetCDF Utilities Utilities installed by default are ncdump, ncgen, nccopy, and nc-config.
7	Remote Access to Datasets Through netCDF-3 Introduction to the access of remote datasets using the DAP protocol through the netCDF-3 interface.
8	NetCDF-C for Windows Building and using netCDF-C on Windows
9	NetCDF Library Architecture Design, structure, and dependencies of the netCDF libraries
10	Introduction to the NetCDF APIs Introduction to netCDF APIs developed at Unidata and others written and contributed by third-party developers.
11	Using netCDF in programs Accessing netCDF data from programs
12	Diskless netCDF files Now you can access netCDF "files" in memory.
13	Introduction to NetCDF-4 What is netCDF-4?
14	Formats and Performance Implications of format on performance. Performance tips and pitfalls.
15	Utilities for NetCDF-4 The ncdump, ncgen, and nccopy utilities have been expanded to handle the netCDF-4 enhanced data model.
16	NetCDF-4 Programming Writing programs to use netCDF-4 features and access netCDF-4 data
17	The Unidata UDUNITS-2 package Using Unidata's udunits-2 package
18	CF Conventions Overview of the increasingly important CF conventions.
19	Chunking and Deflating Data with NetCDF-4 NetCDF-4/HDF5 data may be written in chunks for increased performance, and may use on-the-fly compression.
20	Best Practices for Data providers Experience-based "best practices" as well as a few worst practices for how not to provide data to users.
21	Thanks Thanks for your attendance and attention!
