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

the two areas. </div>

and fellow DC participants.<br>
I am looking for some advice. There has been ongoing
interest in a Data Carpentry workshop at NEON (where i work
for those of you who don't know me). :)<br>
<br>
The challenge that I see at this point, is figuring out what
content would be most relevant. I posted a survey today and
already have a handful of responses - all interested in a 2
day workshop.<br>
<br>
However there is a mix of interest in Python vs R. And some
mix of background (mostly intermediate focused however).<br>
<br>
I am giving everyone a week to respond to the survey. Then I
need to figure out an approach. Depending upon the volume of
responses, i am even thinking about something that is split
across days (R one day, python another). Git and shell
combined? OR SQL ? Can anyone help guide me through the
logistics of deciding the best approach for this workshop
once the survey results are in?<br>
<br>
Thank you in advance!!<br>
