Software Carpentry Bootcamp@UVa
|
|
 The U.Va. Library's Research Data Services is partnering with the U.Va. Data Science Institute to host a software skills bootcamp for graduate students, postdocs, and other scientists on April 16-17, 2015. During the two-day bootcamp, participants will learn basic computing skills—using the Bash shell, version control with Git, computing and analysis with Python, and more. Software Carpentry is a nonprofit organization on a mission to help researchers use computing skills to be more productive. It's free, but space is limited!
Learn more about the bootcamp and register on our website.
