Career Development
As part of larger data science efforts on campus, the Interdisciplinary Research Collaboratory will be hosting a 2-day Software Carpentry Workshop. Software Carpentry aims to help researchers get their work done in less time and with less pain by teaching them basic research computing skills. Registration is required and space is limited - sign up today!
The Interdisciplinary Research Collaboratory is UCSB's home for data-centric research support. The Collaboratory team offers expert guidance on access to the Library's data collections and supports software tools to analyze and visualize quantitative, qualitative, and spatial data. The Collaboratory is pleased announce a 2-day Software Carpentry Workshop to be presented Thursday and Friday, February 21-22.
Software Carpentry aims to help researchers get their work done in less time and with less pain by teaching them basic research computing skills. This hands-on workshop will cover basic concepts and tools including command line scripting, version control, data management, and task automation with the R statistical programming language. Participants will be encouraged to help one another and to apply what they have learned to their own research problems.
This workshop is targeted at novice users. The only requirement is that you can successfully install and configure the software on your own laptop before arriving at the workshop. âAll UCSB students, faculty, and staff with an interest in learning today's research computing toolsâ are welcome.
Registration is required and limited to 25. For more information, and a link to the registration form, please click here.
The Library is thrilled to collaborate with Enterprise Technology Services (ETS), Center for Scientific Computing (CSC), and the department of Ecology, Evolution, and Marine Biology (EEMB) to help present this workshop.
