Software Carpentry Workshops

Software Carpentry teaches fundamental skills that can increase your productivity and improve the quality and reproducibility of your research projects.

About Software Carpentry

During a hands-on workshop, you will learn to automate tasks using the Unix shell, track and share your work using version control, and how to write software in Python or R that is readable, reusable, and reliable.

Upcoming Workshops

Plotting and Programming in Python

Wednesday, August 14, 2024
9:00 am - 4:30 pm CDT
Clark Instruction Center, Watson Library 3rd floor

This is an in-person workshop that is currently full. The waitlist is also full. We will attempt to offer another Python workshop later in the year.

Who should attend?

This workshop is aimed at faculty, staff, and students across disciplines who want an introduction to Python in a welcoming environment. You don't need any prior experience with Python, but you will need to understand what files and directories are, and what a working directory is.

Why should I attend?

You will learn to use tools and practice skills that can improve your efficiency and the transparency and reliability of your research results. Software Carpentry estimates that these skills can save half a day to one day a week over your career.
