The Research Office and the Libraries Research Commons continue their partnership with “Software Carpentry – Basic Python Workshop,” a two-day, hands-on workshop that covers the software programs Python, UNIX and GIT, on Jan 25-26.
Software Carpentry aims to help researchers get their work done in less time and with less pain by teaching them basic research computing skills. This hands-on workshop will cover basic concepts and tools, including program design, version control, data management, and task automation. Participants will be encouraged to help one another and to apply what they have learned to their own research problems.
Participants must bring a laptop with a Mac, Linux, or Windows operating system (not a tablet, Chromebook, etc.) that they have administrative privileges on. They should have a few specific software packages installed (listed here).
The workshop will be held Jan. 25-26 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. both days in the Downtown Campus Library, Room 104.
Registration is required. Email ncf0003@mix.wvu.edu for more information.
Planning continues for future Software Carpentry workshops, covering different data analysis programs.
