Software Carpentry arrives Down Under!
summary
Software Carpentry runs short two-day workshops that teach Python programming, the Unix shell, and version control (svn or git), plus data practices like netCDF file handling; teaching is live-coded, uses etherpad and pair programming, and includes a 12-week teacher training. The model scales: Jan 2012–Jul 2013 runs 92 boot camps reaching >3,000 scientists. Common pain points are software installation, mixed trainee proficiency, and limited post-workshop follow-up.
