Software Carpentry - Bash, Git, and Python
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 for using the Python programming language, including program design, version control, data management, and task automation.
