The Software Carpentry workshop is a hands-on, four half-days online event that teaches the core basic skills needed to work reproducibly with code.
Software Carpentries (R)
Course Description
Software Carpentry aims to help researchers get basic research computing skills. This hands-on workshop will cover basic concepts and tools, including program design, version control, data management, and task automation.
Specifically, this Carpentry workshop will cover Shell, Git, and basic programming with R.
Participants will be encouraged to help one another and to apply what they have learned to their own research problems. This is an introductory course aimed at researchers who have little to no prior programming experience.
Participants don't need to have any previous knowledge of the tools that will be presented at the workshop. However, you must have access to a computer with a Mac, Linux, or Windows operating system (not a tablet, Chromebook, etc.) that you have administrative privileges on.
