NeSI Software Carpentry Workshop Otago
Date and time
Location
Room 228
Department of Biochemistry 710 Cumberland Street Dunedin, 4474 New ZealandDescription
New Zealand eScience Infrastructures (NeSI) is pleased to announce its collaboration with the University of Otago in running a Software Carpentry workshop for the Otago region at the University on June 18-19, 2015.
Software Carpentry's aim is to teach researchers basic computing concepts and skills so that they can get more done in less time, and with less pain.
Our curriculum includes:
Day 1 a.m: Automating tasks with the Unix shell Day 2 a.m: Version control with Git Day 1 p.m: Programming with RDay 2 p.m: Review and open session
Our instructor is a scientist like you:
John Rugis has worked at NSCL, the super-conducting cyclotron lab at Michigan State University, as well as for Hewlett-Packard Research and Development in the USA. John is currently working for the New Zealand eScience Infrastructure (NeSI) collaborating in biomedical cell modelling.
Software Carpentry's teaching is hands-on, so participants are required to bring their own laptops. (We will provide instructions on setting up the required software several days in advance.)
See http://jrugis.github.io/2015-06-18-otago/ for information about this workshop in particular, or http://software-carpentry.org for information about Software Carpentry. And please have a look at the topic lesson plan templates at http://software-carpentry.org/lessons.html to make sure that you are happy with the content and level.
The cost for the workshop free however registrations are limited and essential. To register, please click 'Regsiter ' button above.
