The main focus is on using Git for efficiently writing, maintaining research software, and practices for scientific software development.
CodeRefinery workshop
Course Description
In this course, you will become familiar with tools and best practices for scientific software development. This course will not teach a programming language, but we teach the tools you need to do programming well and avoid common inefficiency traps. The tools we teach are practically a requirement for any scientist that has to do their own programming. The main focus is on using Git for efficiently writing and maintaining research software.
This is an informal and interactive event with type-along lessons, live coding, and exercises. Learners are divided into exercise teams for interactivity - register with a friend!
The course will cover: Introduction to version control with Git, collaborative distributed version control, FAIR data, social coding and open software, Jupyter, documentation, software testing, and modular code development.
