{% comment %} Collaborative Notes

If you want to use an Etherpad, go to

http://pad.carpentries.org/YYYY-MM-DD-site

where 'YYYY-MM-DD-site' is the identifier for your workshop, e.g., '2015-06-10-esu'. {% endcomment %} {% if page.collaborative_notes %}

We will use this collaborative document for chatting, taking notes, and sharing URLs and bits of code.

{% endif %}

{% comment %} SYLLABUS

Show what topics will be covered.

If your workshop is R rather than Python, remove the comment around that section and put a comment around the Python section.
Some workshops will delete SQL.
Please make sure the list of topics is synchronized with what you intend to teach.
You may need to move the div's with class="col-md-6" around inside the div's with class="row" to balance the multi-column layout.

This is one of the places where people frequently make mistakes, so please preview your site before committing, and make sure to run 'tools/check' as well. {% endcomment %}

Syllabus

{% if page.carpentry == "swc" %} {% include sc/syllabus.html %} {% elsif page.carpentry == "dc" %} {% include dc/syllabus.html %} {% elsif page.carpentry == "lc" %} {% include lc/syllabus.html %} {% endif %}

{% comment %} SETUP

Delete irrelevant sections from the setup instructions. Each section is inside a 'div' without any classes to make the beginning and end easier to find.

This is the other place where people frequently make mistakes, so please preview your site before committing, and make sure to run 'tools/check' as well. {% endcomment %}

Data

The data that we will be working with can be found at the following link SAFI_Survey_Results. Make sure to download the cleaned version of the data!

Resulting Scripts

Throughout our workshop, we generated several pieces of code that may be useful to revisit and we have posted them below:

data_types.R
init_data_analysis.R
data_viz_ggplot.Rmd

Setup

To participate in a {% if page.carpentry == "swc" %} Software Carpentry {% elsif page.carpentry == "dc" %} Data Carpentry {% elsif page.carpentry == "lc" %} Library Carpentry {% endif %} workshop, you will need access to the software described below. In addition, you will need an up-to-date web browser.

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.

{% comment %} Start of 'R' section. {% endcomment %}

R

R is a programming language that is especially powerful for data exploration, visualization, and statistical analysis. To interact with R, we use RStudio.

      The default shell in all versions of macOS is Bash, so no
      need to install anything.  You access Bash from the Terminal
      (found in
      <code>/Applications/Utilities</code>).
      See the Git installation <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9LQhwETCdwY ">video tutorial</a>
      for an example on how to open the Terminal.

      The default shell is usually Bash, but if your

Git

Git is a version control system that lets you track who made changes to what when and has options for easily updating a shared or public version of your code on github.com. You will need a supported web browser.

You will need an account at github.com for parts of the Git lesson. Basic GitHub accounts are free. We encourage you to create a GitHub account if you don't have one already. Please consider what personal information you'd like to reveal. For example, you may want to review these instructions for keeping your email address private provided at GitHub.

      <strong>For OS X 10.9 and higher</strong>, install Git for Mac
      by downloading and running the most recent "mavericks" installer from
      <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/git-osx-installer/files/">this list</a>.
      Because this installer is not signed by the developer, you may have to
      right click (control click) on the .pkg file, click Open, and click
      Open on the pop up window. 
      After installing Git, there will not be anything in your <code>/Applications</code> folder,
      as Git is a command line program.
      <strong>For older versions of OS X (10.5-10.8)</strong> use the
      most recent available installer labelled "snow-leopard"
      <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/git-osx-installer/files/">available here</a>.

Text Editor

When you're writing code, it's nice to have a text editor that is optimized for writing code, with features like automatic color-coding of key words. The default text editor on macOS and Linux is usually set to Vim, which is not famous for being intuitive. If you accidentally find yourself stuck in it, hit the Esc key, followed by :+Q+! (colon, lower-case 'q', exclamation mark), then hitting Return to return to the shell.

Virtual Machine

Some instructors prefer to have learners use a virtual machine (VM) rather than install software on their own computers. If your instructors have chosen to do this, please:

Install VirtualBox.
Download our VM image. Warning: this file is 1.7 GByte, so please download it before coming to your workshop.
Load the VM into VirtualBox by selecting "Import Appliance" and loading the .ova file.
