Joining the dots for modern data science workflows

This exploration of programming tools and how to use them together is the map you need to navigate data science.
About this Event
Modern research often makes use of programming and other data science tools, but it can be confusing trying to assemble all the pieces and understand how different tools are used together. This workshop uses the example of Python code to plot geospatial data with Geopandas and, along the way, introduces a variety of other tools that are commonly used to help with programming and digital workflows. We'll explain how and why to use a specialised code editor (Visual Studio Code), how to leverage version control with Git and use remote repositories on GitHub, how to use GitHub Actions, and how to incorporate generative AI tools like GitHub Copilot to facilitate writing and augmenting your code. This workshop aims to provide a map of these different tools to show how they can be used together to support reproducibility and openness in the research process. Some prior experience with programming will be beneficial, but this isn't required to attend, as this is not a hands-on code-along session.
