in cooperation with The Carpentries.

Software Carpentry (Shell, Git, Plotting and Programming in Python)

 
Carpentry aims to help researchers get their work done in less time and with less pain by teaching them basic research computing skills. Participants will be encouraged to help one another and to apply what they have learned to their own research problems.

 

This workshop includes an introduction to Bash shell scripting and version control with Git. It also covers an introduction to programming in Python for people with little or no previous programming experience. It uses plotting as its motivating example to teach participants basics in this programming language (e.g., variable assignment, data types, lists, loops, writing own functions, plotting)

 

To get an idea of the topics covered in this workshop, you can have a look at the example lesson plans for each of the three parts (Shell, Git and Plotting and Programming in Python) here. But please be aware that the exact content covered in each course can vary slightly, depending on the course instructors and time constraints. You will get more information on this course closer to the starting date.
