Software Carpentry Online Workshops- Fall, 2020
– How do I maintain my research code?
– How can I quickly and automatically process my experimental data?This workshop series will cover the skills you need to succeed as all fields become data-driven:- Scripting for task and data management
– Programming with the Python scripting language
– Programming with the R scripting language
– Data Management with SQL
– Version control with Git
– and more . . .
Each online workshop is an example-driven tutorial on basic computing skills, hosted by Computational Science and Engineering and HPCBio at the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign. Short tutorials alternate with hands-on practical exercises, and participants are encouraged both to help one another, and to try applying what they have learned to their own research problems during and between sessions.
Lessons do not assume previous programming experience and introduce the principles of data and task management by example.
We will teach each day from 4–6 p.m. Central Time. Registration is open to all current University of Illinois graduate students, postdocs, staff, and other researchers. This will be especially useful to graduate students, postdocs, and researchers who have not begun to leverage the power of scripting and version control for reproducible research. We especially encourage members of a course or research group to sign up together to reinforce good habits.

Campus Cluster Program
The Illinois Campus Cluster provides access to computing and data storage resources and frees you from the hassle of administering your own compute cluster. Any individual, research team, or campus unit can invest in compute nodes or storage disks or pay a fee for on-demand use of compute cycles or storage space. Staffing and shared infrastructure fees are partially subsidized by campus to help keep your costs as low as possible!
High-performance computers have become essential to research in many disciplines across the Illinois campus, from astronomy to biology to chemistry on through the alphabet to zoology. The Illinois Campus Cluster is a campus-wide resource that meets this need for research computing cycles.
