📢 Today we relaunched The Carpentries’ main website and its Lesson Programs websites! 🎉

Updates to the sites have been in process for some time, and we are pleased to finally share the outcomes of all that work with you. We invite any feedback you may have as we continue to improve these websites.

Find out about the changes we made, and explore the new websites linked in this relaunch announcement: https://carpentries.org/blog/2024/11/the-carpentries-websites-relaunched/

Yesterday we announced that as part of our ongoing journey towards consolidating our resources and three lesson programs (Data Carpentry, Software Carpentry, and Library Carpentry) under one, unified, identity as The Carpentries, most of the content on the three lesson programs' websites will now be accessed from the main Carpentries website.

Day 1 of the *first* in-person #softwarecarpentry workshop in Japanese is in the books! It was a huge success thanks to other helpers and instructors! (not to mention the participants who kept at it through many tricky shell and git commands!) 🙇

Looking forward to Day 2!

*始めて*の対面・日本語ソフトウェアカーペントリーワークショップの1日目が無事に終わりました！他のヘルパーとインストラクターのおかげさまで大成功でした。(もちろん、難しいシェルやgitコマンドに負けないで最後まで頑張った参加者も！)🙇

二日目が楽しみです！

If you just have one hour time to listen to a podcast this month, listen to this one:

https://corecursive.com/beautiful-code-with-greg-wilson/

One of the most inspiring and also energising podcasts I've heard in a long time. Greg Wilson talks about software development as first aid, code literacy/comprehension and on the missing language and practice in software design there is compared to something like designing a bus shelter.

#softwaredevelopment #softwarecarpentry #softwarecraft #softwarearchitecture

Sitting at the cottage with my ereader, and I recall I have an early draft of #TeachingTechTogether by @gvwilson on it. Purchased the final/latest release and dove in.

Such an amazing, inspiring resource! Maybe even better than the #SoftwareCarpentry lessons it grew out of. Making me scheme about how to do more teaching when I get back to the lab later this month.

Protip: you can read it for free online, but if you want the 'published' epub, you can get it direct from Kobo. You don't need to suffer the terrible VitalSource format offered by the publisher.

Hi friends, I'm looking to put together a list of recommended tutorial to get new students going with a) the Unix or Linux command line; b) Python (with Jupyter Notebooks); c) shell scripting with bash; d) other command line productivity tools (top 10 most useful?). I have a few links such as http://www.ee.surrey.ac.uk/Teaching/Unix/, which is good, but doesn't go far enough, or the #softwarecarpentry curriculum.

Anything you like particularly? Online best, videos great, books ok. #python #scipy
