As computing skills are becoming increasingly important and essential for researchers, the Software and Data Carpentry foundations ( http://software-carpentry.org/, http://www.datacarpentry.org/) have been playing major roles in professional development in practical and technical computing. Since 1998 volunteers have been teaching researchers in science, engineering, medicine, and related disciplines the essential computing skills they need to get more done in less time, and with less pain.

CyVerse (formerly iPlant Collaborative), the BIO5 Institute and the University Libraries are will again present this successful workshop on Feb. 25/26 at the UA.

The workshop targets graduate students, postdocs, technicians, and faculty; undergraduate students can be admitted if space is available. It covers the foundational skills necessary to be productive in a small research teams, including:

*       Automate repetitive tasks in the Unix shell.
*       Program in Python to make analyses reproducible.
*       Track and manage your work with Git.
*       Store and share your software with GitHub.

Workshop participation is free.

Register ASAP as Software Carpentry workshops tend to fill fast!
