Choose programming with R or Python. These workshops will provide you with the basic computing skills and best practices needed to be productive in a small research team. The format is a mixture of short seminars and hands-on practical exercises, and participants are encouraged to help one another and to try applying what they have learned to their own research problems during and between sessions.<\/p>\n

REGISTER NOW\u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Thursday & Friday, March 4-5, 2021 | 9:00 AM \u2013 4:30 PM Course Hours, Both Days via Zoom<\/strong><\/p>\n

This 2-day intensive workshop is designed to provide foundational concepts that all programming depends on, using the R statistical computing platform as an example. There are no prerequisites and the workshop is designed for computer users from beginners to advanced. Instructors will lead a comprehensive, hands-on overview of what is possible with R, how to use R-studio and the R command line, and the integration of version control into an analytical workflow, all using an example dataset. Go from reading data into R to data types, functions, conditional statements, loops, inline documentation, as well as best practices for writing R code that others can understand and use.<\/p>\n

The goal of this workshop is to bring you up to speed with data analysis, and it would be incomplete without command-line computing and version control. Understanding the shell for command-line computing is important in building reproducible data analysis pipelines where your R scripts may be just one component. Git for version control is an incredibly useful tool for collaboration and management of your coding projects.<\/p>\n

The syllabus is available now, offering preparation instructions.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thursday & Friday, March 25-26, 2021\u00a0 | <\/strong>\u00a09:00 AM-4:30PM via Zoom<\/strong><\/p>\n

This 2-day intensive virtual workshop is designed to provide a foundation of basic concepts that all programming depends on, using the general-purpose programming language, Python, as an example. There are no prerequisites and the workshop is designed for computer users from beginners to advanced; it’s a comprehensive, hands-on introduction to data analysis using Python that will cover topics including data types, functions, conditional statements, loops, errors, and exceptions, and debugging. Basic data management, version control, and command-line computing are also covered as an introduction to remote high-performance computing.<\/p>\n
