This is a beginner level series that is hands-on, covering the fundamentals of Unix Shell, Version Control with Git and Python. This including data types, conditional statements, loops and functions, as well as program design, version control, data management, and task automation. Participants will be encouraged to help one another and to apply what they have learned to their own research problems.
