Description
You should take this course because Science. For real, though, every
branch of science has a growing computational component, but traditional
science education is lagging behind. If you’re a scientist, you don’t
necessarily need to learn to code, but you do need to level up your computer skills. That’s what this course is about.
Think
about it — you may understand mitosis, or RNA transcription, or galaxy
formation, or covalent bonds, but how well do you understand what’s
going on inside your computer? Learning the command line is the first
step toward a healthier relationship with your machine. It’s great
preparation for learning to code. It puts a TON of free, open source
scientific computing tools (and infrastructure) at your fingertips. And
it’s fun!
So make 2016 the year you finally learn the command
line. This course is custom designed for scientific computing — that’s
why it goes beyond simple navigation and file operations to include
installing software and even building programs from source code. Get up
to speed with your colleagues, fancy up your resume, and become a part
of the scientific computing community. It’s easier than you think!
Featuring Joshua Treeson as The Voice of the Command Line!
