DataONE Webinar Series: Research Computing Skills for Scientists
Since 1998, Software Carpentry has evolved from a week-long training course at the US national laboratories into a worldwide volunteer effort to improve researchers' computing skills. In this webinar, Software Carpentry's co-founder will explore what's been learned along the away about what scientists, engineers, and other researchers actually need to know about programming in order to make their work more shareable, more reproducible, more likely to be correct, and more efficient. He will also discuss practices that the DataONE community and similar groups may be able to use to help researchers deal with large or messy data in a broad range of disciplines.
