This wiki supports the Data Carpentry Workshop held simultaneously at the University of Florida at iDigBio and AMNH on September 29-30, 2014. It is the first in a series of four biodiversity informatics workshops planned in the upcoming year (2014-2015) for iDigBio. The next workshop in this series is Data Sharing, Data Standards, and Demystifying the IPT (January 13-14, 2015).
General Information
Data Carpentry's aim is to teach researchers basic concepts, skills, and tools for working with data so that they can get more done in less time, and with less pain.
Our curriculum includes:
- Day 1 morning: Better spreadsheet skills and introduction to more powerful tools
- Day 1 afternoon: Introduction to databases, combining and querying data using SQL
- Day 2 morning: Introduction to the shell, Introduction to R and managing data in R
- Day 2 afternoon: Collaborative data management & publishing data
The concepts, skills, and tools we teach are domain-independent, but example problem cases and datasets will be taken from organismal and evolutionary biology, biodiversity science, ecology, and environmental science.
Data Carpentry's teaching is hands-on, so participants are required to bring their own laptops. (We will provide instructions on setting up the required software several days in advance) There are no pre-requisites, and we will assume no prior knowledge about the tools.
Updates will be posted to this website as they become available.
Software Installation Requirements and additional information is available at the github web site for the project:
