ALMA is going to start its Early Science Observations during 2011 and a Call for Early Science with its compact array will be issued at the end of this year. At the same time, CASA, the software that ALMA users will have at their disposal, is being continuously developed. I will present an overview of a couple of workshops I attended in Manchester related to ALMA and CASA, which hopefully will encourage you to think for proposals with ALMA and become acquainted with CASA.
Those of you interested in detailed information that I will present can go to the following web pages.
