This Software Carpentry workshop is organised jointly by colleagues from Methods@Manchester, the University of Manchester Library, the University of Manchester Research IT, and Manchester branch of the Software Sustainability Institute.

We are committed to providing a positive and accessible learning environment for all. Please notify the hosts in advance of the workshop if you require any accommodations or if there is anything we can do to make this workshop more accessible to you.

Audience

The workshop is aimed at the University of Manchester's postgraduate students and research and other staff who develop software or deal with or analyse data as part of their work. You don't need to have any previous knowledge of the tools that will be presented at the workshop - this is an introductory-level course.

When & Where

The workshop will be run online over 4 half-days, from {{page.humandate}}, {{page.humantime}}. We will meet using the online videoconference software Zoom. You will need to download and install Zoom client to connect with your instructors. The Zoom link to use for this event will be announced via email to registered participants.

Registration

Registration is free via EventBrite. You will need a special code to register - please get in touch with Aleksandra Nenadic using your Manchester email address.

Requirements

Participants must have a laptop/PC with a Mac, Linux, or Windows operating system (rather than a tablet, Chromebook, etc.) that they have administrative privileges on. They should have a few [specific software packages]({{site.baseurl}}/#setup) installed (listed below).

Code of Conduct

All participants (including instructors, helpers and observers) are required to abide by The Carpentries Code of Conduct.

{% comment %} SYLLABUS

Show what topics will be covered.

  1. If your workshop is R rather than Python, remove the comment around that section and put a comment around the Python section.
  2. Some workshops will delete SQL.
  3. Please make sure the list of topics is synchronized with what you intend to teach.
  4. You may need to move the div's with class="col-md-6" around inside the div's with class="row" to balance the multi-column layout.

This is one of the places where people frequently make mistakes, so please preview your site before committing, and make sure to run 'tools/check' as well. {% endcomment %} {% comment %}

Setup

Installation instructions

To participate in this workshop, you will need to install all of the software described below before coming to the workshop. We will run a pre-workshop installation session to help everyone set up and make sure they have the required software installed.

We maintain a list of common issues that occur during installation as a reference for instructors that may be useful on the Configuration Problems and Solutions wiki page.
