Software Carpentry offers workshops for fundamental coding and data skills needed to conduct research.

Do you want, or need, to learn Python programming for your research, but have no, or little, previous knowledge? Do you want to refresh your basic skills in Python programming? Or, do you want your team members to learn Python? If yes, then this workshop is for you and/or your team!

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.

Software Carpentry aims to help researchers get their work done in less time and with less pain by teaching them basic research computing skills.

Have you ever returned to an analysis in R and can’t remember which scripts you need to run and in what order to make things work? Do you want to speed up your analyses with parallelization? Do you want to ensure other people can run your code? The {targets} R package can help!

The moment is here: you know your topic in and out, have read all the literature and are just one click away from finishing your essay! Maybe you’re lucky and have never seen the Bluescreen of Death, experienced file corruption, stared at the blank screen in rising panic because your brain was empty or written an essay that broke Microsoft Word. In which case, congratulations!

Then again, maybe you are still one of those people who just scribble down ideas and potentially useful literature references on whatever piece of paper is closest. Maybe you’ve spent hours trying to hunt down “Smith 2001, p 24” only to delete that really relevant quote from your essay because you don’t fancy being accused of plagiarising. Maybe Word keeps on messing with the images in your file or decided that your file is too big and corrupted too. In any of these cases, welcome to the club – this course is for you.

In this workshop we will make use of, and expand our collective knowledge of the Unix shell by sharing commands, shortcuts, etc. amongst the participants.
