About this event

Working with Data Series - Software Carpentry

Working with Data is a workshop series focusing on skills, resources, and tools that help you take care of your research data. Workshops cover a variety of data topics that can be applied during different stages of the research data lifecycle, including version control, data cleaning, visualization, metadata, data storage, sharing, and preserving.

The Unix shell has been around longer than most of its users have been alive. It has survived so long because it’s a power tool that allows people to do complex things with just a few keystrokes. More importantly, it helps them combine existing programs in new ways and automate repetitive tasks so they aren’t typing the same things over and over again. Use of the shell is fundamental to using a wide range of other powerful tools and computing resources (including “high-performance computing” supercomputers). This half-day workshop provides hands-on instruction, guiding you through the basics of file systems and the shell. Setup instructions will be emailed to participants prior to the workshop.
