The aim of the workshop is to teach researchers the fundamental skills that will help them be more productive while producing work of higher quality. During this two day workshop, students learn how to automate tasks using the Unix shell, how to track and share work using version control in Git, and data management and visualisation in R.

The workshop is based on Software Carpentry material, but not a full Software Carpentry course.
