The UCSB Carpentry team is hosting four fall workshops on data carpentry: Introduction to Bash/Shell, Introduction to Version Control with Git, Introduction to Python, and Introduction to SQL and Relational Databases. These workshops are example-driven, containing short tutorials that alternate with hands-on practical exercises. Read on to learn more!
This Fall, UCSB Carpentry is offering four online carpentry workshops, including Introduction to Bash/Shell, Introduction to Version Control with Git, Introduction to Python and Introduction to SQL for beginners. You may sign up for any, or all free workshops depending on your interest. The Git workshop builds on the introductory skills in the first Bash/Shell workshop, so if you have not had previous experience with Bash/Shell please sign up for both workshops. There are no prerequisites for the SQL or Python Workshops.
Registration for Bash-Shell, Git, and Python are now open. Registration for Intro to SQL opens on Oct 8th at 8AM
