Please install on the laptop you will be using for CESS and the following workshops both Anaconda and RStudio. Basic instructions are here. Also take a look at Jon's overview of Python and more detailed installation instructions.
Please begin to familiarize yourself with DataCamp by at least browsing through their introductory Python and R classes. DataCamp is a good resource to supplement the Research Computing workshops that will occur this summer. You should apply for access to additional DataCamp lessons after you complete Intro to R and Intro to Python either in person or on DataCamp. Information is here.
Adherence to the summer workshop code of conduct. The code can be viewed here.
In addition to CESS sessions on June 18, 20, and 21, students are required to attend four additional workshops from the Data Science and Programming workshops. Intro to R is two days and counts as two workshops. Intro to Python is three days and counts as two workshops. Students are encouraged to select additional workshops relevant to their research interests and to consult with the instructors when choosing workshops. Attendance at all workshops will be closely monitored.
