Description: Have you ever tried to run someone else’s code and it just didn’t work? Have you ever been lost interpreting your colleague’s data? This hands-on session will provide researchers with tools and techniques to make their research process more transparent and reusable in remote computing environments. We’ll be using platforms like JupyterHub and scripting languages like Bash to demonstrate the material. In this workshop, you’ll learn about:
- Organizing your file directories
- Writing readable metadata with README files
- Automating your workflow with scripts
- Capture and share your computational environment
Using large language models (GenAI) to assist with the above
Teachers: Sarah Huber (University of Victoria), Shahira Khair (University of Victoria), and Drew Leske (University of Victoria)
