Description
If you are a researcher that works in the Agri-food domain (e.g., breeder, molecular biologist, food scientist, socioeconomist), you know a little bit of programming (e.g., in R and/or Python), but you feel a little limited (e.g., some of your calculations run for days on your laptop), then you could benefit from this course. We wish to show you how to step up to the next level, improve your coding efficiency, and make use of High Performance Computing (HPC) and Cloud resources readily available to you.
Familiarity at a beginner level with a programming language (e.g. Python, SQL, R, JavaScript, or Scala) is required. Given the nature of course material, some familiarity with the Python language is recommended.
