In health research, we are increasingly reliant on research software. Many of us are developing data analysis scripts, code, or even entire software packages. If you write code and want to ensure good quality of this code, then this course is for you.
Agenda
The course follows a fixed schedule each week, where participants will:
Receive an email with some context on the topics as well as information of the week’s videos to watch and tasks to implement
- Watch the video
- Implement the tasks of the week
- Check in with their buddy and help each other with their tasks, and
- Discuss remaining questions as a group with an expert
The overall course schedule runs over 6 course weeks, preceded by a kick-off a couple of weeks prior to the course start. Participants are expected to invest approximately 20 hours of work into this course.
Target audience
The intended audience for the workshop is for health researchers who write code and want to get an overview on good coding practices.
Prerequisites:
An intermediate level of programming knowledge in one programming language. The course is not tied to any particular language, but open source software, such as R or Python, will be the focus.
