Intermediate Research Software Development with Python

Discovery Building 330 North Orchard Street, Orchard View Room, Madison, WI, United States

https://uw-madison-datascience.github.io/2025-03-24-uwmadison-intermedpython/Intermediate Research Software Development with Python aims to teach a core set of established, intermediate-level software development skills and best practices for working as part of a team in a research environment using Python as an example programming language (see detailed learning objectives). The core set of skills we teach is not a comprehensive set of all-encompassing skills, but a selective set of tried-and-tested collaborative development skills that forms a firm foundation for continuing on your learning journey.

REU / Undergrad Only – Data Carpentry

Discovery Building 330 North Orchard Street, Orchard View Room, Madison, WI, United States

https://uw-madison-datascience.github.io/2025-06-02-uwmadison-reudc/Data Carpentry develops and teaches workshops on the fundamental data skills needed to conduct research. Its target audience is researchers who have little to no prior computational experience, and its lessons are domain specific, building on learners' existing knowledge to enable them to quickly apply skills learned to their own research. Participants will be encouraged to help one another and to apply what they have learned to their own research problems.

Geospatial Data Carpentry Workshop

Discovery Building 330 North Orchard Street, Orchard View Room, Madison, WI, United States

https://uw-madison-datascience.github.io/2025-06-02-uwmadison-dc-geospatial/The goal of this workshop is to provide an introduction to core geospatial data concepts and dive into working with raster/vector data, including how to open, work with, and plot vector and raster-format spatial data in R. Additional topics include working with spatial metadata (extent and coordinate reference systems), reprojecting spatial data, and working with raster time series data. This lesson assumes you have some knowledge of R. If you’ve never used R before, or need a refresher, start with our Introduction to R for Geospatial Data lesson webpage.
