SWD2: Version Control with Git and GitHub
Thursday 21st April 1pm-4pm
Thursday 28th April 1pm-4pm
Version control can be thought of as the lab notebook of the digital world: it’s what professional software developers and authors use to keep track of what they’ve done and to collaborate with other people. Every large software development project relies on it, and most programmers use it for their small jobs as well. It isn’t just for software: books, papers, small data sets, and anything that changes over time or needs to be shared can and should be stored in a version control system. This course is split over two sessions a week apart, please do not apply for this course unless you are able to attend ALL the sessions.

SWD3: Software development practices for Research
Thursday 12th May 1pm-4pm
Thursday 19th May 1pm-4pm
The purpose of this workshop is to introduce a number of the techniques and concepts that professional software developers use to manage their code, projects and teams. Although the development of research codes and software has different needs and challenges to the development of commercial software, there are nonetheless some tools and techniques that we can adopt or adopt to improve our Research Software Engineering. This isn’t a programming workshop, so it will be relevant to you whichever programming language (on Windows, Linux or Mac) or infrastructure (HPC, Cloud, Desktop) you use. This will be a hands-on session with lots of discussion and small group activities. We’ll be joined by a number of people who develop codes and software who will share their experiences. This course is split over two sessions a week apart, please do not apply for this course unless you are able to attend ALL the sessions.
