R programing is one of the most comprehensive tool used for data analysis by life scientists. It is a framework to use hundreds of free academic data analysis tools.
While anyone can learn is and use it, learning it from experienced users is of great advantage.We are organizing the First Hungarian Software Carpentry Course as a full week-end, two days, hands-on intro into R programming for novices.
The Course is part of a longer series of bioinformatic training events that covers various topics from very basics of bioinformatics and GUI based tools to unix based programs and R programming.

The course is free but registration is mandatory.
The language of the course is English. This will be a two days, hands on computer course. Zero prior bioinformatic knowledge is needed. 
We encourage life science researchers from any field who are dealing with larger datasets and would like to immerse into Data Handling and R programming. 
We encourage you to bring your own laptop in order to use your most friendly environment. If you need a laptop to be provided, please contact the local organizer (balintblaszlo at gmail dot com).
Venue: This is a seminar room of the Medical Faculty located in the Dean's Office Building Shared with the International Student Coordination Center. The place can be easily accessed by Tram no 1, "Egyetem tér" station.  The second building on the left of the university church.
