Description

This talk will explain how Software Carpentry has grown to run over a hundred training events a year, what we've learned along the way, and how you can do it too.

Abstract

Over the last 15 years, Software Carpentry has evolved from a week-long training course at the US national laboratories into a worldwide volunteer effort to raise standards in scientific computing. This talk explains what we have learned along the way the challenges we now face, and our plans for the future.
