CodeRefinery workshop May 10-12 and 18-20 (2021)

Registration is closed

Course goals

In this course, you will become familiar with tools and best practices for scientific software development. We don't teach programming, but we teach the tools you need to do programming well and avoid common inefficiency traps. The tools we teach are practically a requirement for any scientist that has to do their own programming. The main focus is on using Git for efficiently writing and maintaining research software.

Format

This is an informal and interactive event with type-along lessons, live coding, and exercises. Learners are divided into exercise teams for interactivity - register with a friend! If you feel a bit more confident in the material, you can register as an exercise leader.

The workshop will be held online.

• You can attend by registering and receiving the Zoom link, which lets you take part in teams and breakout rooms. (limited places)

• Anyone may also attend via the livestream at twitch.tv/coderefinery. If you register, you can get emails and link to ask questions.

Before signing up please also read this privacy note about tools/services we use.
