Lightning Talk: Software Carpentry
summary
Software Carpentry is a nonprofit running 2–3 day workshops with ready-made, reusable lesson plans that claim to teach scientists practical skills: Unix shell, Python or R, basic SQL and data cleaning. All materials on GitHub use a Jekyll site so instructors can edit via pull requests, and workshop schedules include step‑by‑step timing templates. A sister project, Data Carpentry, focuses on analytics, and there is a formal instructor training course covering pedagogy and break times.
