Registrations will be open from 03/12/24 to 16/12/24. The Data Carpentry workshop will take place in Strasbourg on 13, January 2025.
What is a Data Carpentry workshop?
A Data Carpentry workshop is a hands-on training that covers the introductory computational skills needed for data management and analysis in all domains of research. Our lessons are build on the existing knowledge of learners to enable them to quickly apply skills learned to their own research. Our initial target audience is learners who have little to no prior computational experience. We create a friendly environment for learning to empower researchers and enable data driven discovery.
Short tutorials alternate with practical exercises, and all instruction is done via live coding. A Carpentry workshop is taught by at least one trained and badged instructor. Over the course of the workshop, instructors teach the curriculum called "Genomics": lesson: "Data Analysis and Visualisation in R". This lesson is an additional lesson to the genomics workshop. The focus of the lesson selected is on working with R, a programming language, in order to analyze and vizualize data in bioinformatics.
Lesson content is available online.
Local session
Dates confirmed: 13/01/2025, 9am-5pm
Program and requirements : https://unistra.github.io/2025-01-13-Strasbourg/
The lessons of the workshop are to teach:
- Introducing R and RStudio, R Basics
- Using packages, Data Wrangling and Visualization
Prerequisites:
This lesson assumes that learners have no prior experience with the tools covered in the workshop. However, learners are expected to have some familiarity with biological concepts, including the concept of genomic variation within a population. Participants should bring their own laptops and plan to participate actively.
Software to install:
To participate, you will need access to R and RStudio and an up-to-date web browser. Prior to the workshop, please either:
- Install R and RStudio on your machine by following the instructions given in the Setup page of the lesson homepage or Posit download page
- Sign up to use online RStudio via Posit Cloud Free Plan
NB: Posit is the new company name of the former RStudio company, follow the links to the wikipedia pages to learn more about the product RStudio, and about the Posit PBC company.
The Carpentries maintains a list of common issues that occur during installation as a reference for instructors that may be useful on the Configuration Problems and Solutions wiki page.
May you have any other issue in the installation, please contact at cobolet[at]unistra.fr or come 30 minutes in advance to the workshop so that we can help.
