Course description: The majority of scientists encounter tasks where programming is either helpful or even required. With relatively little training, you can solve these tasks in a fast, systematic, and clean way while also making your solutions reusable for yourself and others. This one-week long intensive workshop will give you this training.

You will learn:

• Basics of programming: the ABCs.
• The unix shell: a different view on your files.
• Using libraries: stand on the shoulders of giants.
• Structuring your program: no spaghetti code.
• Testing: are you really sure there are no bugs?
• Version control: this worked yesterday!
• Data storage and processing: how to not get lost.
• Programming languages: from C to Matlab.
• Next steps: publishing your code, using supercomputers, and more.

NB: Please bring your own laptop!
