2023 is here 🍾! And to make it an even better year,

join us for some training sessions!

Dear colleagues,

Coming up in in the next few months: Get started with introduction to Git & GitHub, learn how to use it and how it helps tracking versions of your code and writing. Make life easier and increase the impact of your work using Docker (and Singularity) for reproducible and automated data analysis. And don’t forget you can have scalable and reproducible pipelines with Nextflow for reproducible and automated data analysis. Last, but not least, join us for the hybrid session of Gentle hands-on introduction to Python programming , and start making your own codes.

Find bellow the details you need to join us in any of the coming up trainings.

Don’t forget to subscribe!

Introduction to Git & GitHub

____________________________________________________________________________________

8^th February 2023 – Brussels

Face to Face training

This workshop will take you through the basic use of Git and GitHub. Git is a free and open source distributed version-control system designed to maintain code, track changes, recover old versions and collaborate with other developers

Registration and info: Link for Git & GitHub

Docker (and Singularity) for reproducible and automated data analysis

____________________________________________________________________________________

13^th and 14^th March 2023 – Leuven

Face to Face training

The course will give an introduction to containers (Docker & Singularity) which are great components to achieve portability and reproducibility of your analysis. You will learn how to use containers and how to build a container from scratch, share it with others and how to re-use and modify existing containers. After an extensive explanation on Docker containers, Singularity will be highlighted as well.

Nextflow for reproducible and automated data analysis

____________________________________________________________________________________

30^th and 31^st March 2023 – Leuven

Face to Face training

You will learn how to use Nextflow for building scalable and reproducible bioinformatics pipelines and running them on a personal computer, cluster and cloud. Starting from the basic concepts we will build our own simple pipeline and add new features with every step, all in the new DSL2 language.

Gentle hands-on introduction to Python programming

____________________________________________________________________________________

12^th , 19^th and 26^st April 2023 – Ghent

Hybrid session

This course gently introduces programming to new programmers. There are plenty of opportunuties to apply and practice what you learn, and ask questions in a safe place. Furthermore, surprise yourself by building a substantial project over the 3 course weeks. We use the popular Python programming language to prepare you for real-world research application of what you learn.
