Intermediate Research Software Development Skills (Python)

The Software Sustainability Institute (www.software.ac.uk) is an EPSRC, AHRC, BBSRC, ESRC, NERC, MRC and STFC funded national facility that cultivates world-class research with software.We help people build better software, and we work with researchers, developers, funders and infrastructure providers to identify key issues and best practice in research software.

The Software Sustainability Institute

Learn a core set of established, intermediate-level software development skills and best practices for working as part of  a research team.

Research Software Camp: Next Steps in Coding

Our spring Research Software Camp: Next steps in coding will focus on improving computational and training skills and exploring existing resources out there. The Camp will be held from 16th to 27th May 2022.

The course aims to teach a core set of established, intermediate-level software development skills and best practices for working as part of a team in a research environment using Python as an example programming language.This course is aimed at people who have been writing research software (potentially used by others too) for a while but it is currently undocumented or unstructured. They now want to learn more intermediate software engineering techniques and tools and how to collaborate with others to develop "good" software and how to prepare software for reuse.This course is not for people whose software is fully documented and well architected or for people who have not yet started writing software yet (in which case have a look at the Software Carpentry course or some other Python course for novices first). It is also not suitable for people who have learned the basics of writing software recently but have not had a chance to apply that knowledge yet (or are unsure how to apply it) to their work - in this case revisit this course in about 6 months' time.The course is delivered online via Zoom over 5 half-days from 13:00 - 16:30 BST as a self-learning workshop with hands-on support from a number of helpers. Learners are separated into breakout rooms where they initially go through the material and exercises on their own and individually, and where they can discuss things in smaller groups. Each breakout room has at least one helper available to answer any questions and help with discussions. In later stages, learners from the same breakout rooms form teams and start working on a single project together.Full course details: <a href="https://carpentries-incubator.github.io/python-intermediate-development/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://carpentries-incubator.github.io/python-intermediate-development/</a> Prerequisites:To attend this course you need some prerequisite knowledge: <a href="https://carpentries-incubator.github.io/python-intermediate-development/#prerequisites" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://carpentries-incubator.github.io/python-intermediate-development/#prerequisites</a> and to install some software tools: <a href="https://carpentries-incubator.github.io/python-intermediate-development/setup.html" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://carpentries-incubator.github.io/python-intermediate-development/setup.html</a>
