Description:

"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 for conducting reproducible research with data in R using the RStudio IDE interface. 

It can be taken alone, but is designed to be taken in combination with the Unix (5/22) and Git (5/23) modules. We will be using the curriculum at http://swcarpentry.github.io/r-novice-gapminder.

The workshop is open to anyone. You do not need any programming experience to participate but you will need access to a Windows, Mac or Linux computer. The workshop will be hosted online using Zoom; instructions for accessing course material and installing software will be sent in advance. For questions, contact Data Education Coordinator Nathaniel Porter (ndporter@vt.edu).
