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 program design, version control, data management, and task automation. 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".
This one-day Carpentry@UiO hands-on workshop will introduce you to Jupyter dashboards for reproducible research.
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: Ole-Johan Dahls house Seminarroom Caml (3438), University of Oslo, Oslo, Norway. Get directions with OpenStreetMap or Google Maps.
When: February 8th, 2018. 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.
Contact: Please email contact-us@swcarpentry.uio.no for more information.
The learning objectives for the workshop are:
No prior knowledge of jupyter dashboards or jupyter notebooks is required.
The workshop is aimed at graduate students, postdocs and other researchers who perform computational analysis or work. The material uses basic Python for teaching and illustrating the key concepts. Advanced knowledge of Python is not needed, but some familiarity with Python will help to understand the material.
