Data Science Bootcamp Resources: Mini Courses, Unix Shell, Github, R & Coding MeetUps
The Following is a list of introductory resources:
- Data Science in Human Behavior Mini Courses
- Includes: Statistics, Programming, Data Policies, Data Use, & Library Resources
- If you are new to Unix Shell please go through the materials for the first 3 episodes of Unix shell. This is a self-paced study.
- Github lesson materials this is a playlist for Version Control with Git. The lesson includes introduction to Git & Github, how to create a repository, making branches and collaborating with Git. The videos will likely take about 4 hours, you can do that however you see fit, 1-hour for 4 days; one day for 4 hours, or anything in between.
- R resources!
- A helpful introduction for those of you new to R and for folks that like the carpentries style of coding along while learning: Intro to R youtube playlist It says geospatial data, but the R information can be applied to any data.
- Coding MeetUps:
- Sarah Stevens and Christopher Endemann are data science facilitators at the Data Science Hub here on campus and have office hours also known as coding meetups, where folks can drop in, ask questions, code along, etc. Those are held every week Tuesdays & Thursdays from 2:30-4:30p. The Hub facilitators are looking forward to helping you with any questions you might have related to programing, coding, and working with large data.

Data Science & Human Behavior Resources
Data Science & Human Behavior Resource Library
We built an online resource for scientists studying human behavior to understand and apply new methods, concepts, and techniques from machine-learning, AI, and other computational fields. Many online data-science resources target workers in industry, programmers, and other communities with extensive technical expertise. This library curates resources useful to those who study cognition, perception, action, language, neuroscience, social interactions, and other aspects of human behavior. Feel free to peruse, consume and even contribute: Data Science & Behavioral Library
We highly recommend reading this Contribution Guide if you want to publish resources on this site.
Amplify Diverse Voices
Amplify Diverse Voices Resources
One thing we as researchers can do to build a more inclusive research community, is acknowledge work from historically underrepresented groups by including diverse contributions in our citations.
