Why sign up for CodeRefinery September 2023? In one week, you'll be getting very familiar with the basics of #git #VersionControl for single-person, local projects - the foundation of all to come. (we're posting each day's lesson one week in advance)

Register and attend the sessions you'd like (online #livestream, EU-mornings) or browse at your own time:

#openscience #RSEng #coderefinery #course #HPC, 1/?

Our yearly #SciComp and #HPC kickstart course is open for reg: 6-8 June, EU afternoons. As usual, #livestream for everyone in the world + extra local help - we welcome anyone to watch.

Why register: see the map of your career, brush up on some skills, and get connected to a community of others. The course (especially day 1) is designed around what we see young and old researchers struggle with. Day 2-3 go into cluster usage.

There is one more day of #CodeRefinery tomorrow! This is one of the best days, and as usual anyone can drop by and watch the #livestream:

- at 9:00 CET, #SoftwareTesting which connects many things we have done before.
- And at ~11:00, "Modular code development type-along", where you'll see real steps you can take starting with #Jupyter data analysis turning into a #ReproducibleResearch tool using everything we have learned.

Day 5 has started already! #Juptyer (bit of basics + plenty of tricks) and #Documentation (basics, comments, #readme:s, hands-on with #Sphinx, #GithubPages).
Now: jupyter
~1.25 hr from now: Documentation

#CodeRefinery is live for week 2. Last week we talked about version control (#git) a lot, now we show got git can be used to make #ReproducibleResearch, #documentation, #testing, and other things you need for #OpenScience. Yes, you can join for week 2 if you weren't here for week 1:

We have a new "#git the way you need it" #cheatsheet. Most projects are small and simple, so our presentation should is organized around that. We shouldn't try to make every project perfect, but make sure that git is used at all - and we do that by guiding learners along their actual path. #RSEng #CodeRefinery #HPC #ResearchSoftware

#CodeRefinery #livestream has now reached 100 questions (answered), almost two hours in since the main teaching started. Probably more, since our numbers have gotten off. 52kB of text so far...

Everything holding up, but our staff are very busy answering!

How to attend #CodeRefinery?

Good question: the last years have shown that teaching can be free, and we see no reason to stop!

- Everyone (yes, that means you) can watch our #livestream at https://www.twitch.tv/coderefinery
- Some partners have in-person exercise help
- Or make your own team "watching party"
- Q&A access for those who register
- Review materials and videos later

Events limited by place or time is so 2019, join us for the future tomorrow! Info ⬆️ thread. #RSEng #AcademicMastadon

> If someone had just show me this, I could have saved 3 months from my #PhD. — someone ~2015 (not about #CodeRefinery)

There is no better investment than saving your future time. Is this week's minor deadline more important than your future career? aybe ask your supervisor and their answer might surprise you.

Attend the #CodeRefinery workshop this week and next, look ⬆️ thread to see more.

What is this #CodeRefinery thing we've been talking about, and why might you attend?

- Workshop, for scientists, not about programming but the skills to use it well for #SciComp and #DataScience
- If you, or someone you know, has to use programming to do your work, but you know you could be more efficient - come!

Starts Tue, online&in-person at partners: https://coderefinery.github.io/2023-03-21-workshop/

Our "Summer Scientific Computing Kickstart" course has a page now - dates are 6-8 June 2023. It's basically our #HPC cluster introduction course for new researchers, combined with the necessary #SciComp background so everyone can reach the level they need.

It uses the standard #CodeRefinery style: Livestream so everyone can attend, local support for those from #Finland and partners. We welcome anyone to register, we try to be useful for outsiders. #OpenScience #RSEng
https://scicomp.aalto.fi/training/scip/kickstart-2023/

Our #CodeRefinery workshop is next week, and we are getting close to 500 registrations. We are especially happy how we can cater to so many different learning styles and ways of attending - we aren't a typical online course!

CodeRefinery teaches to practical tools for developing #ResearchSoftware, targeted to scientists. Either join yourself, or join and help make a local breakout/exercise session for your own community:
https://coderefinery.github.io/2023-03-21-workshop/ #RSEng #OpenScience #FAIR #AcademicMastodon

Everyone knows your code needs documentation. As a #researcher, you probably also know that most code doesn't need perfect #documentation. #README files are good enough for most case! Read our suggestions/hands-on for how to make a good one for your projects. What do you do?
https://coderefinery.github.io/documentation/writing-readme-files/

(to be honest, this isn't our best page since it's rarely taught in #CodeRefinery workshops. Any suggestions?)
#RSEng #ResearchSoftware #git #SciComp #CodeRefinery #TipsAndTricks

@mattasdata Yes, we have a remote-first mindset for #CodeRefinery. And then add back some in-person interaction, since that way around is relatively easy.

- Livestream to everyone in the world. Free but we don't promise much support for non-Nordic. Someone local could, though.
- Clear break times for exercises and discussion
- Collaborative notes for large-scale simultaneous discussion
- Watching parties as possible, either organized yourself or through a partner.

It's #CodeRefinery time! CodeRefinery is one our main #training courses for #scientists, covering all the skills such as #VersionControl (#git), #documentation, #ReproducibleResearch, #testing, and more

Free to attend to anyone in the world: 21-23 & 28-30 March, EU mornings: https://coderefinery.github.io/2023-03-21-workshop/
We recommend everyone attend this course at least once.

#RSEng #HPC #SciComp #Research #AcademicMastodon #phdstudents #ResearchSoftware #OpenScience

@coderefinery Everyone in Finland: we run an in-person breakout room for #CodeRefinery (register via the main form with your country or university email and we'll contact you with info). For the #AaltoUniversity community, we also provide support for all of these tools, before and after the workshop: https://scicomp.aalto.fi/help/

Everyone should take this workshop once, or at least go through the material.

The next CodeRefinery workshop is soon - March 21-23&28-30, online&in-person ! https://coderefinery.github.io/2023-03-21-workshop/

#Coderefinery is the bridge between academic courses and practical #ScientificComputing - all the stuff you need to know but aren't taught. And it's like an intermediate-level #Carpentries workshop if that's your thing.

It changes people's careers. Topics include #git, #ReproducibleResearch, #documentation, #testing, modular code development, and more.

#HPC #RSEng #SciComp

Last week I was in Oslo meeting with the NRIS (Norwegian Research Infra Services) training team (#SciComp) to talk how they and @SciCompAalto can work together as part of @coderefinery. It was a great visit; we share plenty of the same problems and visions.

- More open courses
- Teaching can't exist in a vacuum, technical mentoring and support is needed along with it
- We need outreach and ways to bring people on to community teaching.

Like #CodeRefinery teaching? Join us! #HPC #RSEng

@laytonjb Yes, it will be. One of the points of the #CodeRefinery livestream teaching style is that we can record and immediately publish with no privacy risk, helping everyone access the #course. Of course all written material is open, too.
