Introduction
This course covers how to best exploit the bash shell for both interactive work and batch jobs, moving & simple manipulation of data, as well very short introductions to programming in bash, Perl, and R. This is not computer science; this is a driver’s license.

Requirements: Participants must bring a laptop with a few specific software packages installed (see Pre-Workshop Instructions).
