What are the Carpentries?

The Carpentries’ workshops are hands-on two-day events that cover the core skills needed to be productive in a small team. Instruction sessions are integrated with practical exercises, and all instruction is done via live coding.

Software Carpentry workshops focus on automating tasks, how to track and share work using version control, and how to write software that is readable, reusable, and reliable.

Data Carpentry workshops are domain-specific, and follow a narrative structure, working with one dataset through the whole data lifecycle from project organization to visualization.

Library Carpentry workshops are designed to help library professionals. Lessons include SQL, web scraping, data cleaning and tidying. It is not formally associated with the Carpetries.
