“The Carpentries” is an organization that is dedicated to improving coding and data science skills of researchers worldwide. Besides the numerous workshops that they offer worldwide, they also provide plenty of learning material publicly available on their webpage. An overview of lessons with slightly different target audiences can be found on the following pages:


The tutorials are meant to give you a short introduction of multiple really awesome tools that will definitely change your daily workflow for the better. In particular, I highly recommend the following lessons:


You should also check their reading list. I still remember reading Best Practices for Scientific Computing of Greg Wilson in the early days of my position at university. It truly shaped my thinking about coding and software tools - I highly recommend it! I can only assume that A Quick Introduction to Version Control with Git and GitHub is similarly worth reading for anyone not yet familiar with git.
