The UC Carpentries Fall 2024 workshop series is an opportunity for the UC community to learn computer programming and data management skills online for FREE! The workshops take place over two weeks and cover foundational R and Python coding, data management practices and tools, automation, and version control. Whether you are a data novice or just looking to brush up on your skills, this series has something for everyone.
The nine workshops are held from September 9 through September 20, 2024. Each topic will be taught as a standalone session, with the exception of R and Python which take place over two sessions. The series is co-hosted and supported by instructors from UC San Diego, UC Los Angeles, UC Merced, UC Riverside, UC San Francisco, UC Santa Barbara, UC Berkeley and California State University, Fullerton.
