General Information
Data Carpentry workshops are for any researcher who has data they want to analyze, and no prior computational experience is required. This hands-on workshop teaches basic concepts, skills and tools for working more effectively with data.
We will cover Cloud computing and command line for genomics and Data analysis and visualization in R. Participants should bring their laptops and plan to participate actively. By the end of the workshop learners should be able to more effectively manage and analyze data and be able to apply the tools and approaches directly to their ongoing research.
Who: The course is aimed at graduate students and other researchers.
Where: North Carolina State University, Raleigh. Get directions with OpenStreetMap or Google Maps.
Requirements: For this demo, participants must bring a laptop. At a full Data Carpentry workshop you may need to intsall a few specific software packages installed (listed below). They are also required to abide by Data Carpentry's Code of Conduct.

Setup
For this demo, you will only need a laptop! At a full Data Carpentry workshop you typically will need working copies of the described software. Please make sure to install everything (or at least to download the installers) before the start of your workshop. Participants should bring and use their own laptops to insure the proper setup of tools for an efficient workflow once you leave the workshop.
Please follow these Setup Instructions.
We maintain 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.
