Delivery: Live and virtual
See how programming languages support transparent, repeatable research workflows. Designed primarily for doctoral students building their methods foundation
What to Expect
The session provides an introduction to the main languages of data analysis: Python, R, and SQL. Attendees will learn the similarities and differences between the languages, their respective strengths, and the types of tasks for which each is best suited. After introducing the languages, attendees will then get hands-on experience programming in each during an online lab session, in which participants apply the content from the lecture with organizationally relevant exercises. The session will close with a Q&A session and an opportunity to exchange ideas and insights between attendees.
