[data-carpentry-discuss] Organizing Data Carpentry workshop - advice

[Hsi-Kai (Kai) Yang]

Leah:
You might want to focus on either (1) data preparation/munging/management,
or (2) data analysis/presentation. Data exploration probably is in between
the two areas.
It could be too aggressive trying to cover all aspects of data science in
two days.
Also you might want to assume the attendees can master at least one
programming language. I believe learning how to program belongs to software
carpentry. Data carpentry is all about data science.
My 2 cent.
Thanks.
