Core CodeRefinery lessons

Also see all of our online lessons: Lesson index

These are the lessons which are included in the "standard" CodeRefinery workshop, and what we believe that every computational scientist (even those with very small amounts of computation) should know.

• Introduction to version control (day 1-2)
• Collaborative distributed version control (day 3)
• Documentation (day 5)
• Jupyter notebooks (day 5)
• Automated testing (day 6)
• Social coding and open software (day 4)
• Reproducible research (day 4)
• Modular code development type-along (day 6)

Self-study workshop

Want to study this material yourself? No problem! The CodeRefinery teaching style tries to make this accessible to you. All the lessons above are designed to be self-sufficient for self-study. We also have video recordings and archived "parallel chat Q&A" (which can go into other both basic and advanced questions) which may optionally be useful for other teaching styles.

The following are the video recordings + parallel chat of the 2022 September workshop:

• The lesson material is linked above, and is probably more up-to-date than the chat/playlist below.
• Parallel chat
• YouTube playlist

For self-study purposes, you may need the installation instructions. Note that you may want to see what is necessary for each lesson, before going and installing everything there.

Support in self-study is very important. There are several options:

• Most of the tools in these lessons are pretty standard. Ask your friends and colleagues for help - you will probably both learn something.
• You may get local support from our partner organizations if you are in their community.
• There is a #help stream in CodeRefinery chat where we welcome general questions and provide support on a best-effort basis.
