Foundational coding and data science skills based on tools for reproducible scientific programming.

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

Content:

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

Requirement:
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 https://intcdc.github.io/2024-03-19-UniStuttgart/).
