Hacky Hour at Griffith

Hacky Hour is open to everyone with an interest in IT and research. We hold the “Hacky Hour” to compliment Software Carpentry classes and as a way to touch base with, inform and up-skill the research community both within Griffith University and other institutions. Languages such as R and Python are taught both through Hacky Hour sessions and in the Software Carpentry Workshops.

At our Hacky Hour sessions, we offer:
  • Where to start with a IT question
  • Coding assistance in R, Python, SQL, Bash and more
  • Practice your new programming skills from our Python and R workshops
  • Information about large computational services such as HPC (High Performance Computing), what is available and how to use it
  • Learn about Virtual Machines, how they work and how to use them
  • A space to build a community around IT and research
  • Learn about Git, Github and Gitlab, a version control method for your code
