Winter is here, and now is the time to learn a new programming language and catch up on your computing and data analysis skills!
The Center for Integrated Research Computing (CIRC) will be hosting workshop training sessions for a 4 week period starting on February 3rd. Known as the “CIRC Winter Bootcamp,” these workshops will be divided into 8 topics. Each week will feature 1 or 2 topics, and each topic will span 3 days of instruction.
Topics include basic training in Linux, programming languages, data analytics tools, and visualization. The courses are designed for beginners and extra emphasis will be placed on using these languages, libraries, applications, etc. specifically on the University’s research computing cluster, BlueHive. The classes will take place on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday mornings and afternoons in the VISTA Collaboratory.
Each language or topic is taught as an individual module. Each module is independent, and participants may sign up for one or more modules (i.e. languages or tools to learn). Details are provided on the registration site.
