On Dec. 10 & 11, Nikoletta Glynatsi and I ran our first Workshop on “Research Software Development”. Far from appraising myself, but judging from the feedback, it was a big success. For two days, we taught best practises in writing software (exemplified with python), using git for version control, collaborating on gitlab projects and employing gitlab’s built-in continuous integration tools to run automated tests and build a reference manual.
All material from the workshop, including all presentations and code examples are available under terms of the MIT License from this gitlab repository: https://gitlab.gwdg.de/glynatsi/rsd-workshop .
If you missed this workshop, there is a second one in January. There are currently no spaces left, but check regularly as people might change their plans on short notice. The registration site is here: https://workshops.evolbio.mpg.de/event/36/ .
