<h2>General Information</h2>

<!--
  INTRODUCTION

  Edit the general explanatory paragraph below if you want to change
  the pitch.
-->
<p>
  The UF Carpentries Club is offering a two day Data Carpentry workshop to help the
  UF community get started learning R and common data management tools such
  as the spreadsheets, OpenRefine, and SQL. Want to automate some analyses? Have data
  you're scared to work with in Excel? Want to collaborate effectively with your peers?
  We were there once too. Come start learning with us.
</p>
<p>
  Our instructors are trained by the Carpentries in evidence-based pedagogy and our 
  materials have been developed collaboratively over years by dozens of contributors.
  The <a href="https://informatics.institute.ufl.edu/">University of Florida Informatics Institute</a>
  and the <a href="http://cms.uflib.ufl.edu/msl/Index.aspx">Marston Science Library</a>
  have generously volunteered space and resources for this workshop in order to
  advance the skillset of the UF community. The organizers, instructors, and helpers 
  are volunteering their time to help UF, and you!
</p>
<p>
  The international <a href="http://datacarpentry.org">Data Carpentry</a> organization
  develops and teaches workshops on the fundamental data skills needed to conduct 
  research. Our mission is to provide researchers high-quality, domain-specific 
  training covering the full lifecycle of data-driven research. Our lessons are domain 
  specific, from life and physical sciences to social science and build on the existing 
  knowledge of learners to enable them to quickly apply skills learned to their own 
  research. Our initial target audience is learners who have little to no prior computational 
  experience. We create a friendly environment for learning to empower researchers and enable 
  data driven discovery.
</p>
<p>
We will cover {{page.day1_am}}, {{page.day1_pm}}, {{page.day2_am}} and {{page.day2_pm}}.

Participants should bring their laptops and plan to participate actively. By the end of the workshop learners should be able to more effectively manage and analyze data and be able to apply the tools and approaches directly to their ongoing research.
</p>

<!--
  AUDIENCE

  SYLLABUS

  Show what topics will be covered.

  1. If your workshop is R rather than Python, remove the comment
     around that section and put a comment around the Python section.
  2. Some workshops will delete SQL.
  3. Please make sure the list of topics is synchronized with what you
     intend to teach.
  4. You may need to move the div's with class="col-md-6" around inside
     the div's with class="row" to balance the multi-column layout.

  This is one of the places where people frequently make mistakes, so
  please preview your site before committing, and make sure to run
  'tools/check' as well.

  SETUP

  Delete irrelevant sections from the setup instructions.  Each
  section is inside a 'div' without any classes to make the beginning
  and end easier to find.

<h2 id="setup">Setup</h2>

<p>
To participate in a Data Carpentry workshop, you will need working copies of the 
described software. Please make sure to install everything (or at least to download 
the installers) before the start of your workshop. Participants should bring and use 
their own laptops to insure the proper setup of tools for an efficient workflow 
once you leave the workshop.
<p>
Please follow these <a href=install.html>Setup Instructions</a>.

<p>
  We maintain a list of common issues that occur during installation as a reference for instructors
  that may be useful on the
  <a href = "https://github.com/swcarpentry/workshop-template/wiki/Configuration-Problems-and-Solutions">Configuration Problems and Solutions wiki page</a>.
