Welcome! ======== 1. Learning goals ----------------- For you: * get a first (or second) look at tools; * gain some experience in the basic command line; * get 80% of way to a complete analysis of some data; * introduction to philosophy and perspective of data analysis in science; 2. Safe space and code of conduct --------------------------------- This is intended to be a safe and friendly place for learning! Please see the Software Carpentry workshop Code of Conduct: http://software-carpentry.org/conduct.html In particular, please ask questions, because I guarantee you that your question will help others! 3.

Shannon Joslin - grad student at UC Davis. Taylor Reiter - grad student at UC Davis. 4. Jetstream and cloud computing - why?! ---------------------------------------- * simplifies software installation; * can be used for bigger analyses quite easily; * good for "burst" capacity (just got a data set!) * accessible everywhere; 5. Sticky notes and how they work... + Minute Cards --------------------------------------------------- Basic rules: * no sticky note - "working on it" * green sticky note - "all is well" * red sticky note - "need help!" Place the sticky notes where we can see them from the back of the room -- e.g. on the back of your laptop. ---- Next: :doc:`jetstream/boot`
