 FREE Computational Skills Workshop on Aug. 26/27, 2017!



Software/Data Carpentry Workshop – Applications accepted now!

Cost:         Free
What:       Software/Data Carpentry Workshop

Who:        Practicing and aspiring research scientists

When:      Aug. 26/27, 2017 (Two full weekend days)

Where:    UA Campus

As computing skills are becoming increasingly important and essential for researchers, the Software and Data Carpentry foundations ( http://software-carpentry.org/, http://www.datacarpentry.org/) have been playing major roles in professional development in practical and technical computing. Since 1998 volunteers have been teaching researchers in science, engineering, medicine, and related disciplines the essential computing skills they need to get more done in less time, and with less pain.

The BIO5 Institute, CyVerse (formerly iPlant Collaborative), and the University Libraries will again present this successful workshop on Aug. 26/27 at the UA.

The workshop targets graduate students, postdocs, technicians, and faculty; undergraduate students can be admitted if space is available. Learn the foundational skills necessary to be productive in a small research teams, including:

•       Automate repetitive tasks in the Unix shell/command line.
•       Program in R to make analyses reproducible.
•       Track and manage your work with git.
•       Store and share your software with GitHub.

Workshop participation is free.

Register ASAP as our workshops tend to fill fast!
