Community-driven software and data training for computational biology — •Toby Hodges — The Carpentries, Oakland, CA, USA

The Carpentries is a global community teaching essential software and data skills for research. Certified Instructors teach hundreds of workshops to thousands of learners all over the world every year, introducing them to essential skills for computational research such as programming, version control, and data organisation. In recent years, the community has also begun to develop and deliver lessons that build on these foundations, teaching more intermediate and advanced Research Software Engineering skills such as HPC, parallel programming, and containerised computing. This talk will explore how open source, collaborative training efforts can build capacity for computational research, discuss what makes this model work and some lessons learned along the way, and finish with a look at what the community plans to do next.
