The 2025 UC-wide Carpentries workshop series will take place online September 15-25. This workshop series is a 9 Day Carpentries Bootcamp that aims to teach participants basic concepts, skills, and tools for R in RStudio, Python in Jupyter Notebook, an introduction to the Unix Shell, Version Control with Git, SQL, OpenRefine, and Tidy Data. This series is designed for researchers and enables non-experts to develop computing skills for research analysis. We will cover basic concepts and tools, such as working with libraries and data frames, reading and plotting data, creating and using functions, the shell using command-line applications, cleaning and transforming data, and more.

This is a free workshop and is open to all University of California students, staff, and faculty.
