General Information

This is not a full Software Carpentry, but an R tidyverse workshop based on Software Carpentry material.

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: Seminarrom 123, Vilhelm Bjerknes' hus, Moltke Moes vei 35, 0851 Oslo. Get directions with OpenStreetMap or Google Maps.

When: Jun 6-7, 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 below). They are also required to abide by Software Carpentry's Code of Conduct.

Accessibility: We are committed to making this workshop accessible to everybody. The workshop organisers have checked that:

• The room is wheelchair / scooter accessible.
• Accessible restrooms are available.

Materials will be provided in advance of the workshop and large-print handouts are available if needed by notifying the organizers in advance. If we can help making learning easier for you (e.g. sign-language interpreters, lactation facilities) please get in touch and we will attempt to provide them.

Contact: Please email raoul.wolf@ibv.uio.no for more information.

Message from the organizers: We would like to encourage participants to commit to two full days of intensive learning. We are running a experimental "deep dive" into the subject and we are trying to learn if the dense two-day format is better for absorbing and practicing the material. Think about it not as a typical workshop, but rather as a mini-bootcamp, where you come to immerse yourself into data analysis with R and, hopefully, come out with some practical and immediately applicable skills for making sense of your data. We would like to see the participants who have immediate data analysis problems they are trying to solve, and would like to prioritize the teaching effort to those who need urgent assistance and help to get started. Provided that this experiment is successful, we will be bringing more of similar exciting offerings to you in the fall. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
