Software Carpentry - two day workshop for researchers
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.
You don't need to have any previous knowledge of the tools that will be presented at the workshop but you will need to prepare a few specific software packages installed.
Tid: Må 2018-03-12 kl 09.00 - Ti 2018-03-13 kl 16.30
Plats: KTH Campus, Lindstedtsv 24, room Fantum
Registration and further information
A growing number of researchers spend more and more time building and using software, but few have ever been taught how to do this efficiently. In many cases they end up spending more time than necessary to create results whose reliability and reproducibility is unknown.
The aim of Software Carpentry is to teach researchers the fundamental skills that will help them be more productive while producing work of higher quality. In this Software Carpentry Stockholm workshop, students will learn how to automate tasks using the Unix shell, how to track and share work using version control, and how to write software in Python that is readable, reusable, and reliable.
Further information about the workshop and registration details can be found at https://wikfeldt.github.io/2018-03-12-stockholm/. Note that participants are requested to complete a short pre-workshop survey.
Who: The course is aimed at graduate students and other researchers. You don't need to have any previous knowledge of the tools that will be presented at the workshop.
