Overview

The Royce Data Curation team will host a 5-day workshop aimed at materials science researchers new to these languages, and those looking for a refresher; designed to give you confidence in using shell, Git and GitHub, and Python.

You might be a complete beginner, or might have engaged briefly in the past. In developing these skills you will be well-placed to begin your digital research journey and apply basic computational approaches to materials data. A basic understanding would be helpful but not necessary.

You will gain a holistic view of dynamic programming languages, the capabilities of Python, and become ready to venture into self-learning Python. Topics covered include useful libraries, data structures, plotting, and functions.
