What can I learn at a Carpentry and CodeRefinery workshop?

Below are the major Carpentries and CodeRefinery lessons that Carpentry@UiO offers. Workshops are run mainly on-site throughout one full work day (9:00-16:00). All participants are expected to follow the Carpentries code of conduct.

R is commonly used for statistical analysis, but it is also a powerful programming language. Workshops on R focus on teaching best practices for scientific computing, such as: breaking down analyses into modular units, task automation, and encapsulation. Workshops on R may use lessons from Data Carpentry instead.
