Software Carpentry 2 day workshop: Shell/Git/Python (book now for 19th-20th Oct)

Lucy Hall
Wednesday 21 September 2022

This workshop will run in person.

Software Carpentry teaches software skills to researchers, enabling them to get more done in less time and with less pain. The workshop will cover basic programming in Python, working with computers via the Unix Shell command-line interface and using the Git version control system to manage projects.

  • Python is a popular general-purpose, high-level programming language which is particularly widely used among academics. It is available on all platforms and is easier for novices than most programming languages.
  • The Unix Shell allows you to control a computer by typing in commands, which can be combined to automate complex workflows.
  • The use of a version control system such as Git to manage files saves time, brings peace of mind and facilitates collaboration.

Every workshop includes learners with varying levels of experience of the different subjects being taught. Learners who are more familiar with the content of a particular lesson are encouraged to help their less-experienced colleagues. No previous experience of any of the technologies being taught is required.
