Code style and linting

This session introduces the importance of code style and linting in writing clean, consistent, and maintainable code. You will learn how following a defined style guide improves code readability and collaboration, and how automated tools, known as linters, can help identify and fix style issues early in the development process. We will explore common linting tools and how to integrate them into your software development workflow.

About the Research Software Camp: Careers and Skills in Research Software

The Software Sustainability Institute (SSI) runs Research Software Camps (RSCs), which aim to improve coding literacy by providing attendees with tailored programmes consisting of online workshops; panel discussions; resources such as guides, articles, and videos; and one-to-one support around specific topics within research software. The RSC format prioritises entry-level training while also supporting the transition to intermediate skills.

This year’s Research Software Camp, Careers and Skills in Research Software, will be delivered over the course of two weeks as a multi-session event tailored for early-career professionals, recent graduates, and anyone looking to transition into research software roles. Through a combination of hands-on workshops and engaging panel discussions, attendees will gain a strong foundation in both the technical and professional competencies in research software.
