Workshop Series

Carpentries

Software Carpentry aims to help researchers get their work done in less time and with less pain by teaching them basic research computing skills. This hands-on workshop will cover basic concepts and tools, including program design, version control, data management, and task automation. Tools introduced include Python, Bash, and Git. Participants will be encouraged to help one another and to apply what they have learned to their own research problems. This workshop will cover an introduction to Python.

Data Carpentry develops and teaches workshops on the fundamental data skills needed to conduct research. Its target audience is researchers who have little to no prior computational experience, and its lessons are domain specific, building on learners' existing knowledge to enable them to quickly apply skills learned to their own research. Participants will be encouraged to help one another and to apply what they have learned to their own research problems. This workshop covers an introduction to R.
