Did you ever have to deal with hundreds or thousands of measurement or
simulation files and didn't know how? Have you ever wanted to automatize a
routinary data analysis task? Perhaps generate plots for many files
automatically? and put them later in a pdf report? or setting up a webpage
with them? Do you "version" your papers with paper-v1.tex, paper-v2.tex,...,
paper-final.tex,... , paper-final-final.tex,...? Do you use MATLAB for doing a
numerical integration, or perhaps a FFT, over some data arrays? Or for fitting
your data to a model equation?
The Materials Physics Center (CFM) is organising, with the collaboration of
DIPC, a Software Carpentry Workshop to be held in the CFM along December 2018.
Software Carpentry mission is to help scientists and engineers get more
research done in less time and with less pain by teaching them basic lab
skills for scientific computing. This hands-on workshop will cover:
* an introduction to shell scripting (Diego Lasa, DIPC) and
* the popular software version control system 'git' (Inigo Aldazabal, CFM) and also
* an introduction to the Python programming language (David de Sancho and Sofia Sanz, DIPC) and
* a walkthrough over a typical (physics) data analysis workflow using some of its scientific and numerical libraries (Inigo Aldazabal, CFM).
A little bit of computer knowledge is helpful but essentially these are basic
introductions.
The typical two-and-a-half days workshop will this time be split in 5 morning
sessions along a few weeks in order to ease the assistance. These sessions
will be repeated after Christmas should enough demand be detected, so don't
worry if you can't attend now.
The workshop is aimed to all CFM and DIPC research staff, as well as
technicians, and by no means is only of interest to the theoretical people.
People from other communities are welcome to attend, subject to seat
availability.
