Spring is here and there are exciting new offerings at Data Services! For those who want to learn programming fast, we’re offering a command line workshop and boot camp-style intensives for Python and R at the introductory level. If you want a more relaxed and thorough approach with similar material, we have biweekly Python and R courses, as well as shorter workshops on Qualtrics, Git, and Pandas.
As always, we offer consultations for statistical methods, data management, R, SPSS, Python, GIS, version control, Excel, Dedoose, and Qualtrics at our help desk Monday – Friday 11am – 4pm in the DREAM Lab and or by appointment. Want to meet others interested in data science? Drop by Coffee & Code for short talks, the Coding Circle to work on coding projects over snacks, or join our Data Book Club.
