Software Carpentry in Australia: current activity and future directions
summary
Claims rapid, measurable growth: 220 boot camps worldwide with ~234 volunteer instructors and ~7,000 learners since 2012, and 14 Australian boot camps across six capitals. Core stack is explicit: Unix shell, Python or R, Git and GitHub, SQL delivered via live coding, pair exercises and ready installs like Anaconda and git bash. Built reusable open lessons, capstone examples and local Research Bazaar support at the University of Melbourne; online office hours flounder, weekly “hacky hour” sustains follow-up.
