IntCDC, SimTech, FoKUS, SFB1313 and TIK are jointly organising a Software Carpentry (SCW) workshop and a Research Software Engineering (RSE) 102 workshop. The RSE 102 workshop builds thematically on the Software Carpentry workshop, but the target groups are different.
The Software Carpentry workshop is aimed at doctoral researchers and students with little or no experience in programming; the RSE 102 workshop is aimed at doctoral researchers only and expects some prior knowledge of RSE.
Both workshops will be held in English.
We plan to run these workshops every 6-12 months. If you are rather new to RSE, we recommend that you start with the Software Carpentry workshop now and continue with the RSE 102 workshop at the next iteration.
About the Software Carpentry workshop
The Carpentries 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 teach basic programming skills, but also 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 to keep track of your work
- Reproduce tabular data for analysis and visualisation
About the RSE 102 workshop
We build up on the basics (Unix shell, Git, Python) learnt in the Software Carpentry workshop and study the methods and tools used to ensure good software engineering:
- Git workflows
- Containerisation
- Testing and continuous integration
- Building and packaging
- Software design principles
Skills in these areas are crucial for developing or contributing to quality-assured software in collaborative environments and are very useful in today's research landscape.
