{% comment %} HEADER
Edit the values in the block above to be appropriate for your workshop.

And run 'make workshop-check' before committing to make sure that changes are good. {% endcomment %}
This is the landing site for Columbia's Foundations for Research Computing August Bootcamp, section {{ page.section }}.
While Python is a large part of the bootcamp, it is not the exclusive focus. Our goal is to get you started in applying computational methods in your research processes. This means we'll also cover the UNIX shell and Git in addition to Python in order to develop fundamental and widely applicable skills. This workshop is intended for novices; no prior experience in working with computer programming is presumed.
Below you'll find the schedule, syllabus, and setup instructions to go over before the bootcamp begins__, as well as more information about the Software Carpentries curriculum.
