Keywords: Version control, Reproducible Research, Social coding, Documentation, Jupyter notebook, Automated testing, Modular code development

Learning objectives: 

Introduction to version control (day 1-2): This lesson brings you from zero to using Git and GitHub for own projects.

Collaborative distributed version control (day 3): This lesson builds on "Introduction to version control" and we apply branching and learn about pull requests (merge requests), forks, and collaboration using Git and GitHub.

Reproducible research (day 4): We focus here on 3 aspects of reproducible programs and computations: documenting dependencies, environments, and computational steps in a reproducible way. We touch on containers.

Social coding and open software (day 4): We motivate and give an overview over software and data licensing and software citation best practices.

Documentation (day 5): Here we give an overview of the different ways how a code project can be documented: from small projects to larger projects. Markdown and Sphinx are central tools in this lesson.

Jupyter notebooks (day 5): This lesson gives an overview of what Jupyter notebooks are, when they can be particularly useful, and shows best practices for reusable and reproducible notebooks.

Automated testing (day 6): In this lesson we talk about motivation for testing, about test design, but also about some tools that are typically used for automated testing of software.

Modular code development type-along (day 6): The focus of this lesson is how to partition and organize projects as they grow from one screen-full to larger and how to make code portions reusable across projects and across notebooks.
