In this Software Carpentry Workshop you will learn the Unix Shell, version control in Git, and programming in Python.
This two-day workshop teaches core computing skills that will help you be more productive and effective. We will alternate short tutorials with hands-on practical exercises. Participants will be encouraged to help one another and to apply what they have learned to their own research problems.
Registration is mandatory, and participation requires setting up the software in advance by following the provided instructions (a help desk session will also take place on March 9). Please register only if you are available for the whole course.
Primary target audience: biology students, (bio)medical students including those in dr. med. programs.
The workshop is free and open to researchers, staff, and students of any discipline. It is funded by the Munich Center for Machine Learning and the LMU Open Science Center.
