This short course is teaching tools and practices for producing and sharing quality, sustainable and FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable) research software to support open and reproducible research. The course can be delivered over 2 full or 4 half days.
The course is visible at: https://carpentries-incubator.github.io/fair-research-software/ and uses the Markdown lesson template from the The Carpentries Workbench lesson infrastructure.
The course uses the software repository with code that does not follow FAIR research software practices and gradually improves it over the course of the lesson. Finally, the improved code that the course finishes with is in the astronaut-data-analysis-fair repository.
The accompanying slides to aid with course delivery are also available.
