The Carpentries comprises + Software Carpentry, Data Carpentry, and Library Carpentry communities of Instructors, Trainers, + Maintainers, helpers, and supporters who share a mission to teach + foundational coding and data science skills to researchers and people + working in library- and information-related roles. In January, + 2018, The Carpentries was formed by the merger of Software Carpentry and + Data Carpentry. Library Carpentry became an official Carpentries Lesson Program in November 2018.
+ +While individual lessons and workshops continue to be run under each + lesson project, The Carpentries provide overall staffing and governance, as + well as support for assessment, instructor training and mentoring. + Memberships are joint, and the Carpentries project maintains a shared Code + of Conduct. The Carpentries is a fiscally sponsored project of Community + Initiatives, a registered 501(c)3 non-profit based in California, USA.
+Since 1998, Software Carpentry has + been teaching researchers across all disciplines the foundational coding + skills they need to get more done in less time and with less pain. Its + volunteer instructors have run hundreds of events for thousands of learners + around the world. Now that all research involves some degree of + computational work, whether with big data, cloud computing, or simple task + automation, these skills are needed more than ever.
+Data Carpentry develops and teaches + workshops on the fundamental data skills needed to conduct research. Its + target audience is researchers who have little to no prior computational + experience, and its lessons are domain specific, building on learners' + existing knowledge to enable them to quickly apply skills learned to their + own research. Data Carpentry workshops take researchers through the entire + data life cycle.
Library Carpentry develops lessons and + teaches workshops for and with people working in library- and + information-related roles. Its goal is to create an on-ramp to empower this + community to use software and data in their own work, as well as be + advocates for and train others in efficient, effective and reproducible data + and software practices.
