Software Carpentry workshop was a hands-on two-day event held on the campus of Elizabeth City State University in the Center of Excellence in Remote Sensing Education and Research (CERSER). The ADMI Software Carpentry Workshop was held June 8-9, 2016 and covered the core skills needed to be productive in a small research team. Short tutorials alternated with practical exercises, and all instruction was done via live coding.

Topics included:

• Automating tasks using the Unix shell
• Structured programming in Python, R, or MATLAB
• Version control using Git

Since 1998, Software Carpentry has taught researchers in science, engineering, medicine, related disciplines, and the computing skills they need to get more done in less time and with less pain.
