We are thrilled to offer a free four-day virtual workshop, Monday March 17th to Thursday March 20, 2025 to teach participants the building blocks for developing cloud-native pipelines with industry standards and uploading them to Terra, a cloud-based bioinformatics platform. Tentative Agenda for Virtual Event: Day 1: Running Workflows in Terra (~2 hours) Learn how to navigate the Terra platform and run analysis scripts written in the Workflow Description Language (WDL). Day 2: Intro to Docker and DockerHub (~1.5 hours) Use best practices to make public Docker images that can be hosted in the cloud and run in WDL workflow scripts. Day 3: Intro to writing WDL scripts (~2 hours) Learn basic WDL syntax, write your first hello-world WDL script, and apply the basic concepts to a simple genome analysis example. Day 4: Automating Dockstore-GitHub Integration (~1 hour) Set up your GitHub scripts to automatically push to Dockstore so you can use them in Terra. The workshop will begin at 1 pm ET each day. Prerequisites: The WDL module will cover basic WDL syntax, but participants should already be familiar with using the command line. Coding experience is not required but is strongly suggested. Additionally, participants will need the following to do the hands-on activities (instructions will be emailed): GitHub account Docker Desktop Dockstore account Terra account Registration and cost: Register for the workshop below. If you plan on participating in the hands-on exercises, you'll be able to sign up for a free Terra billing project that you can use to run workflows in Terra during the workshop. To ensure this set up is simple, please use the same email address to to register for this workshop and for your Terra account.
Poster session now live. Chat with us about all our new features in the tweets/toots in the last week. Also now notebooks with rich previews and all the Dockstore features you're normally used to with workflows.
See Terra featured workflows as an example!

Of course, as an introduction, we're Dockstore at https://dockstore.org/
We see ourselves as an open "app store" starting in bioinformatics and open to the sciences beyond. Primarily sharing workflows in @commonwl , WDL, @nextflowio , @galaxyproject all running in @Docker and compatible platforms.
