[Neasis-l] NEASIST workshop: Library Carpentry, May 15

[Nyhan, Kate]

Greetings everyone – NEASIST is hosting a Library Carpentry workshop on May 15 @ MIT. It’s hands-on, and there’s a great ratio of instructors to participants, so sign up before all the spaces are filled!

The one-day workshop will cover jargon busting, data structures, using regular expressions for pattern matching, use of the Bash shell (aka the command line) to speed up and automate tasks, and using OpenRefine for data cleanup.
We welcome groups enrolling as this helps with post-workshop integration of the skills. Participants will be encouraged to help one another and to apply what they have learned to their own work. You don't need experience to participate -- beginners are welcome.
