Our Mission
Software Carpentry helps researchers be more productive by teaching them basic computing skills. We run boot camps at dozens of sites around the world, and also provide open access material online for self-paced instruction. The benefits are more reliable results and higher productivity: a day a week is common, and a ten-fold improvement isn't rare.
Who We Are
Software Carpentry is a volunteer organization supported by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation and the Mozilla Foundation. Come and meet our sponsors and our team.

Boot Camps
Our boot camps cover the core skills every scientist needs to get more done in less time: program construction, version control, testing, the command line, and data management. Short lessons alternate with hands-on practical sessions for two full days. Check out our calendar to find a boot camp near you.
Learn Online
Our video lectures cover all of our core topics and much else as well, and all of our material can be freely re-used under open access licenses. The previous version of our material is also available, along with a reading list.
