This CodeRefinery online workshop will take place during 6 half-days in two instalments, March 22-24 and March 29-31, 2022.

In this course, you will become familiar with tools and best practices for version control and reproducibilityin modern research software development. The main focus is on using Git for efficiently writing and maintaining research software.

We will not teach programming, but we teach the tools you need to use programming well.

We assume that you are familiar with the programming language that you use in your work and research.

We try to keep the course as language-independent as possible but we will show some basic code examples in Python.

This is an informal and interactive online event with type-along type of presentations, live coding, and demos. Short tutorials alternate with practical exercises.
