9:00 - 17:00 
Software Carpentry workshop @KIT - Part 1
Course
PC-Pool D, Building 20.21, Kollegiengebäude am Zirkel, Teil 2, Zirkel 2, 76131 Karlsruhe

On April 7. and 8. 2025, the Scientific Computing Center is hosting an in person Software Carpentry workshop, primarily open to graduate students and research staff at KIT.
 
What is a Software Carpentry Workshop ?
A growing number of researchers spend more and more time building and using software, but few have ever been taught how to do this efficiently. In many cases they end up spending more time than necessary to create results whose reliability and reproducibility is not ensured.
The aim of Software Carpentry is to teach researchers the fundamental skills that will help them be more productive while producing work of higher quality. We do that by teaching workshops where students learn how to automate tasks using the Unix shell, how to track and share work using version control, and how to write software in Python, R, or MATLAB that is readable, reusable, and reliable.
During a workshop, short tutorials alternate with practical exercises, and all instruction is done via live coding (i.e. learners write their code along with the instructors).
 
This two-days workshop will cover the following topics:
-    Automating tasks using the Unix shell
-    Version control using Git
-    Introduction to programming with Python
 
This session is intended for students and researchers who have little to no prior programming experience: lessons are designed for beginners and no prior knowledge on the tools that will be presented is required to attend the workshop.
 
You can find more information and register for this workshop on the dedicated website (https://mmesiti.github.io/2025-04-07-KIT/).

Larissa Beinhorn, Sabine Glas, Michael Philipp

The SCC operates the content management system OpenText Web Site Management (WSM) for the Internet presence of KIT institutions. The system makes it easy to create and edit websites without programming knowledge and provides templates in the KIT corporate design.
In this event, you will learn how to use the content management system and how to design your own websites with it. In addition to the basics of templates and RedDot structures, you will receive valuable tips on how to use the system.
The event is aimed (only) at employees and assistants of institutes, faculties and facilities of KIT!
The event will be held in German.
