"We offer a free online training course for people who would like to teach Software Carpentry, and to learn more about teaching in general along the way. The course takes 2-4 hours a week for 12-14 weeks (depending on interruptions); most work is done on trainees' own time, and is posted to the course blog. While we would like to help everyone learn how to teach programming, space in the course is limited. We therefore give preference to people who have taken part in a workshop themselves, are planning to host a workshop, or have relevant prior experience. For more information, please send us email" (see website for email address). - from the website
Software Carpentry exists "Because computing is now an integral part of every aspect of science, but most scientists are never taught how to build, use, validate, and share software well. As a result, many spend hours or days doing things badly that could be done well in just a few minutes. Our goal is to change that so that scientists can spend less time wrestling with software and more time doing useful research." - from the website
