The first two days (May 8 & 9) will be spent with expert instructors from Software Carpentry who will show you the basics of using your computer’s command line, using Git and GitHub for version control, and the very popular Python programming language. You will spend the next three days (May 10-12) practicing what you have learned by working collaboratively on a digital humanities project.
