"Software Carpentry" boot camp: tools and techniques for making research computing less painful, faster
A “Software Carpentry” boot camp designed to teach Purdue researchers, especially graduate students, tools and techniques to get their research computing done with less hassle, more efficiently and faster is set for March 17-18.
Free registration for the program, sponsored by ITaP Research Computing (RCAC), at: http://www.itap.purdue.edu/training/course/?OfferingID=6474. Participants must register by March 11.
The Purdue boot camp will run from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. each day March 17 and 18 in Rawls Hall, Room 3058. The two-day event will cover topics such as using the Bash shell to do more in less time, basic Python programming for data analysis and other purposes, employing version control to manage and share information, and program testing, debugging and documentation. The curriculum is tailored to help early-career graduate students in particular, although any Purdue researcher may attend.
