We would like to invite you to the upcoming IntCDC Key Skills Worshop on Software Carpentry (https://wisman.izus.uni-stuttgart.de/display/IntCDCGen/Key+Skills+Workshops)!

On 19-22 March 2024, members of IntCDC, FoKUS, TIK, and SimTech will host the next Software Carpentry Workshop (SCW, https://software-carpentry.org/). The workshop targets doctoral researchers, students and employees with no or only little experience in programming.

 

About the Software Carpentry Workshop

The Carpentries (https://carpentries.org/) is a community initiative that provides programming tools for the daily routine of scientists. The content of the workshop will be as follows:

  • Using the Unix shell
  • Version control using Git
  • Programming and creating diagrams with Python

The workshop will not only be about teaching fundamental programming skills, but also about how to automate and reproduce scientific processes as well as possible. For instance, after attending this workshop you will be able to:

  • Automate repetitive tasks
  • Establish a workflow for keeping track of your work
  • Reproduce tabular data for analysis and visualization

Requirements

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 (see workshop website).
