Fluency in programming and data science requires using computer software from the Command Line, a text-based way of controlling the computer. You will go on a guided under-the-hood tour behind the graphical interface we typically use: you will learn how to interact and manipulate files, folders, and software via the Command Line.

You will learn how to use Git, a version control system that is the primary means of doing reproducible and collaborative research. You will use Git from the command line to document the history of your code, create different versions of your code, and share your code with an audience via GitHub!

The course covers fundamentals of Python, a high-level programming language, and use it to wrangle data for analysis and visualization.

The course continues building programming fundamentals in R programming and data analysis. You will learn how to make use of complex data structures, use custom functions built by other R users, creating your own functions, and how to iterate repeated tasks that scales naturally.

You will expand your current knowledge of Git and GitHub to help your research be more collaborative, reproducible, and transparent.

This course introduces users to the Fred Hutch Cluster. It will lead users through account creation, using the terminal, connecting to the cluster, submitting jobs, and transferring files. Available in both web and Leanpub formats.
