Lessons

This repository contains the teaching materials used by the Research Bazaar.

In many cases the directories in this repo simply contain a README file with a link to the Software Carpentry lessons that we use. In other cases there are lessons that we have developed ourselves, or additional files that compliment the Software Carpentry materials.

There are a number of Software Carpentry lessons that are currently being developed that we would be interested in including in our courses:

IPython parallel intermediate lesson (see lesson and pull request)
Python spatial mapping novice lesson (see pull request)
Make intermediate lesson (see lesson)
Python multiprocessing intermediate lesson (see lesson)
Bioinformatics capstone example (see issue)
Medical imaging capstone example (see pull request)
(There's also some useful examples of using IPython for parallel computing in the IPython mini-book)

Note that the materials in the Software Carpentry bc repo are organised as follows:

The gh-pages branch has the complete, mature materials
The master branch has materials that are still being refined, but are good enough to use as they are
All other development is tracked via issues or pull requests

Contributing new material

If you'd like to contribute new material to our lessons repo, follow these steps:

Fork the lessons repository.
Create a new branch and make all your changes/edits on that branch (i.e. do not make your changes on the master branch, as this makes it difficult to merge later on). If your edits are for a particular discipline and bootcamp, make that explicit in the branch name (e.g. 2014-02-30-meteorology-bootcamp).
Once you're done, submit a pull request and we'll review your changes.

Bootcamp resources

Software Carpentry has a very detailed operations guide for running bootcamps, in addition to an instructional video on how to create a bootcamp website.
