Impact/Purpose:

In January of 2014, Jeff Hollister co-hosted, along with the URI Coastal Institute, a Software Carpentry Bootcamp to teach scientists (10 attended from USEPA AED)how to utilize computers better and to develop software with R. Additionally, a follow on course to the bootcamp was held in which several EPA staff attended to help refine and expand the skills they learned in the bootcamp. As reproducible research was a focus of the follow on course, the impact of this should be a more reproducible form of science from the attendees in general and the EPA participants in particular.

Description:

This product is a blog post that outlines a course conducted to build on skills learned in a Software Carpentry Bootcamp co-hosted by AED researcher, Jeff Hollister. The post provides details on the course and some lessons learned that will be implemented in future iterations of the bootcamp and course.
