I agree with Cameron when he say "not all lessons fit all disciplines or experience levels". I only want to add two cents: all Software Carpentry workshops need to cover Git (or Mercurial or another version control system). On a workshop with novice learners you probably will not cover branches but on a workshop with learners that have done at least some coding they will probably ask the instructors about branch. ;-) Cheers, Raniere _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.software-carpentry.org/listinfo/discuss
