Preface

Ford handed the book to Arthur. “What is it?” asked Arthur. “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. It’s a sort of electronic book. It tells you everything you need to know about anything. That’s its job.” Arthur turned it over nervously in his hands. “I like the cover,” he said. “Don’t Panic. It’s the first helpful or intelligible thing anybody’s said to me all day.”

— Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy


Welcome to your lab classes (aka as labs or practicals).1 This online book accompanies the Moodle page for the labs. While it might not tell you everything you need to know about anything, we hope it will tell you almost everything you need to know about the labs!

The development of the Hitchhiker’s Guide has been recognised by the University of Nottingham. In June 2023, it won a Lord Dearing Award:
