Abstract

Way back in 2013 I joined Software Caprentry as an instructor. SWC teaches scientists foundational data science skills. Meta: SWC also teaches scientists how to teach other scientists foundational data science skills. I carried the teaching philosophy I learned from SWC forward in several graduate courses and workshops I used to teach, which eventually made its way into a short textbook I wrote for this series.
