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

[Robert C. Groman]

Kai,

Perhaps learning how to program belongs to software
carpentry, but knowing how to program enables a data
scientist to be much more productive since they have at
their disposal very powerful and flexible tools, such as R,
Matlab, and other scripting languages.

Cheers, Bob
