This workshop, aimed at faculty, staff and students across disciplines, will use a mixture of intensive hands-on activities to explore Unix Shell, version control with Git, and programming with Python.
Attendees will learn processes for effective research reproducibility and obtain practical skills to participate in modern research projects where scripting and coding are considered prerequisites.
Attendees will be required to bring a laptop and are encouraged to register with a friend or colleague.

Sponsored by KU Libraries with additional support from the Center for Research Methods & Data Analysis, KU Information Technology, the Department of Geography & Atmospheric Science and the Center for Research Computing.
Software Carpentry is a volunteer organization whose goal is to make scientists more productive, and their work more reliable,by teaching them basic computing skills.
Founded in 1998, it runs short, intensive workshops that cover program design, version control, testing, and task automation.
Computing is now an integral part of every aspect of science, but most scientists are never taught how to build, use, validate, and share software well.
As a result, many spend hours or days doing things that could be done well in just a few minutes.
Our goal is to change that so that scientists can spend less time wrestling with software and more time doing useful research.
