Code Workshop
In conjunction with the Montana Code School, MonTEC has hosted a number of EPSCoR-sponsored workshops that have exposed UM students, faculty, and researchers to specific software development tools and practices. This knowledge can decrease the trial and error process of programming, help researchers discover more creative solutions, and produce work of higher quality, all of which effectively increase productivity in a research context.
In determining the best areas of focus for the participants in future workshops, brief feedback on both the needs and struggles you/grad students face with the coding process of research would be greatly appreciated! It shouldn't take any longer than 5 minutes.
Past Workshops
Source Control and Programming Foundations using Git, Python and JavaScript
This workshop explored the basic tenets of programming using Python and JavaScript as tools along with Git source control tactics to preserve your hard work over time. It is important to learn the basics of programming in order to have a firm foundation on which to build your analysis platform or tool of choice. This workshop began with Git for the first hours for more advanced students who wanted to attend that portion.
Database Design, Management and Querying with SQL
This workshop explored the world of relational databases and the following concepts:
1) How do you design a database for different purposes?
2) How do you load data into the database?
