All DSS Programming Workshops are quarter long asynchronous courses held in Canvas starting in week 2. The total amount of participation time is approximately 3 - 4 hours (Unix, Git, OpenRefine) and approximately 7-8 hours (Python, R). Zoom sessions will be available, along with ways to receive help within Canvas. Registered participants will receive invites to the Canvas workshop, click on the links above to register.
Canvas Workshops are Carpentries-based, these workshops can also be held in-person. Please contact Danielle Kane (kaned@uci.edu) if interested:
Geospatial Workshop (Coming Soon) Availability - Open to UCI Year Round Through Self Registration This workshop focuses on working with geospatial data - managing and understanding spatial data formats, understanding coordinate reference systems, and working with raster and vector data in R for analysis and visualization. Includes:

OpenRefine (4 hrs)Availability - Open to UCI Year Round Through Self Registration OpenRefine is described as “a power tool for working with messy data” David Huynh - but what does this mean? It is probably easiest to describe the kinds of data OpenRefine is good at working with and the sorts of problems it can help you solve. Instructor: Danielle Kane (kaned@uci.edu) |
Python WorkshopAvailability - During alternating quarters - see Current Workshop Box Above You can choose to take Programming with Python or Plotting and Programming in Python, you do NOT need to do both.

Social Science Workshop (Coming Soon)Availability - Open to UCI Year Round Through Self Registration This workshop teaches data management and analysis for social science research including best practices for data organization in spreadsheets, reproducible data cleaning with OpenRefine, and data analysis and visualization in R. This curriculum is designed to be taught over two full days of instruction.

The Unix Shell (4 hrs)Availability - During alternating quarters - see Current Workshop Box Above The Unix shell has been around longer than most of its users have been alive. It has survived so long because it’s a power tool that allows people to do complex things with just a few keystrokes. More importantly, it helps them combine existing programs in new ways and automate repetitive tasks so they aren’t typing the same things over and over again. Use of the shell is fundamental to using a wide range of other powerful tools and computing resources (including “high-performance computing” supercomputers). These lessons will start you on a path towards using these resources effectively. Instructor: Danielle Kane (kaned@uci.edu) |
Version Control with Git (3-4 hrs)Availability - During alternating quarters - see Current Workshop Box Above Version control is the lab notebook of the digital world: it’s what professionals use to keep track of what they’ve done and to collaborate with other people. Every large software development project relies on it, and most programmers use it for their small jobs as well. And it isn’t just for software: books, papers, small data sets, and anything that changes over time or needs to be shared can and should be stored in a version control system.
