Hi Kari, I ran a 1 day workshop for the American Astronomical Society conference in January. Echoing others, what you chose to include is pretty specific to your audience. We chose to tailor the workshop to a beginning audience who was familiar with basic shell navigation and likely had seen some programming language (although not Python). Our schedule is here: https://abostroem.github.io/2017-01-03-aas/ <https://abostroem.github.io/2017-01-03-aas/> We basically cut some of the shell lesson and remote git and trimmed down the Python lesson (materials here: https://github.com/abostroem/2017-01-03-aas/blob/gh-pages/python/master_plan.ipynb <https://github.com/abostroem/2017-01-03-aas/blob/gh-pages/python/master_plan.ipynb>).
Overall, we got good feedback although I prefer the 2 day format. A few thoughts on things to think about next time: In the interest of time we cut a lot of the exercises, especially in the shell section. I would cover less material with more exercises next time. Although students are following along, they absorb the material much better when they are asked to apply it. I wish we had gotten to remote git. I think there is a lot of power in being able to sync machines, work with collaborators, and eventually, possibly contribute to an open source project. It was even harder to navigate the range of levels in the condensed format. Azalee > On Jun 1, 2017, at 7:32 AM, Kari L.
