Data Carpentry is running a series of two-day online courses on data skills for beginners, for learners in Scotland or working for Scottish employers (see full criteria below).
The Carpentry programmes teach essential computing and data skills to researchers across all disciplines.
Registrations are now open for CarpentryCon 2018 in Dublin. The event will take place from 30th May to 1st June 2018.
The Research Software Group and the Software Sustainability have organised a Data Carpentry workshop, which will take place on 1st & 2nd August 2017 at the University of Southampton.
The course will cover data organisation in spreadsheets and OpenRefine, SQL for data management, and an introduction to R for data analysis. By the end of the workshop, learners will be able to more effectively analyse and manage their data to aid reproducibilty and to increase their chances of furthering their research.
