Instructors: Natasha Pavlovikj, Carrie Brown, Emelie Harstad
HCC presents the June Workshop Series event which is scheduled for each Tuesday afternoon in June. The first two modules (occuring June 6th and 13th) will cover the basics of the Unix Shell, and Git using the traditional Software Carpentry lessons. More information (including a schedule and links to the lessons) is provided below.
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 unix shell programming, and version control. Participants will be encouraged to help one another and to apply what they have learned to their own research problems.
For more information on what we teach and why, please see our paper "Best Practices for Scientific Computing".
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.
Where: Avery Hall, Room 106, 1144 T Street, Lincoln, Nebraska. Get directions with OpenStreetMap or Google Maps.
When: June 6 & 13, 2017. Add to your Google Calendar.
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 (listed here). They are also required to abide by Software Carpentry's Code of Conduct.
