The University of Twente’s First Software Carpentry Workshop

Judith Brands

Ear­li­er this month The Uni­ver­si­ty of Twente deliv­ered their first Soft­ware Car­pen­try Work­shop (SWC) in col­lab­o­ra­tion with 4TU.ResearchData. We are thrilled to announce it was a real suc­cess.

The work­shop was con­duct­ed by 4 instruc­tors and 8 helpers who taught 20 learn­ers. Dur­ing four online lessons the instruc­tors gave an intro­duc­tion to the basics of Unix, Git and Python.  

The course par­tic­i­pants were enthu­si­as­tic and pro­vid­ed use­ful feed­back about the work­shop. They report­ed that the pace was adap­tive, the expla­na­tions clear and they believed that  hav­ing helpers to assist par­tic­i­pants dur­ing the course was a great way to learn some­thing new with no one falling behind. 

Thank you to the instruc­tors and helpers who organ­ised and deliv­ered these lessons!

The Uni­ver­si­ty of Twente is very excit­ed to announce that they will organ­ise a sec­ond SWC soon. If you’re inter­est­ed in par­tic­i­pat­ing in a future SWC, check the University’s events page and sub­scribe to their DCC newslet­ter to be the first to receive more infor­ma­tion.

For those inter­est­ed in becom­ing a helper or instruc­tor dur­ing these work­shops, con­tact your data stew­ard for more infor­ma­tion.
