R and Python courses available

The University Libraries and the Odum Institute have developed beginR workshops to help participants get started with R; see http://tarheels.live/beginr/ for details. New topics are covered each week and time is provided for practice and general assistance with research projects in R. Registration is not necessary.

The Library also offers Python Open Labs, a similar series of Python workshops. Registration is necessary - see https://calendar.lib.unc.edu/calendar/unc-libraries to sign up.

Descriptions, materials, and registration links are available here https://unc-libraries-data.github.io/Python/.

Research Computing will partner with the Library on these courses.
