Basic Research Computing
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. You do not need to have prior knowledge of the tools presented in the workshop. Participants will be encouraged to help each other and apply what they learn to their own research problems.
The workshop will address data analysis and visualization in R, focusing on working with tabular data and other core data structures, using conditionals and loops, writing your own functions, and creating publication-quality graphics. As a prelude to R know-how, this workshop also introduces learners to RStudio and auxiliary strategies.
Prerequisites
Participants must have access to a computer running a Mac, Linux, or Windows operating system (not a tablet, Chromebook, etc.) on which they have administrative privileges. They should have some specific software packages installed.
