Last week saw the first Software Carpentry boot camp to be held at the University of Southampton. Organised by our fellow, Robin Wilson, fifty researchers from the Institute for Complex Systems Simulation and Computational Modelling Group, attended this boot camp, with Nelle Varoquax and James Morrison (who attended our Manchester boot camp back in April) as instructors.

Institute staff Steve Crouch and Tim Parkinson provided local help. Pop over to the Software Carpentry blog to read about how the boot camp went, and check out Six useful things I have learnt at Software Carpentry boot camp written by a satisfied attendee.
