Introduction to programming with Python, UnixShell and Git

Software carpentries workshop

There is an increasing demand for data-driven research to find answers to complex issues. The most common used programming languages for data-analysis are Python and R. On Tuesday the 7th through Friday the 10th the UvA Library organises a workshop of four half-days for researchers and Master students of the UvA and VU who want to gain knowledge on the basics of programming and plotting with Python, data-management with Unix Shell, and version control and collaboration with Git.

Start date 7 March 2023
End date 10 March 2023
Time 10:30

During this course the following subjects will be covered: 

  • Programming and plotting with Python  

  • Unix Shell 

  • GitHub 

No prior knowledge is required. Participants will receive links to download Open Source software before the start of the workshop. 

The workshop approach is based on The Carpentries; a worldwide organization of researchers, programmers and knowledge workers who teach their colleagues data and software skills in a low threshold way.
