Webinar Abstract:
Since 1998, Software Carpentry has evolved from a week-long training 
course at the US national laboratories into a worldwide volunteer effort 
to improve researchers' computing skills. In this webinar, Software 
Carpentry's co-founder will explore what's been learned along the away 
about what scientists, engineers, and other researchers actually need to 
know about programming in order to make their work more shareable, more 
reproducible, more likely to be correct, and more efficient. He will 
also discuss practices that the DataONE community and similar groups may 
be able to use to help researchers deal with large or messy data in a 
broad range of disciplines.
