ACENET: Using Git Tools to Manage File Changes and Collaborate - Collaboration
Version control is the practice of managing and sharing changes to documents, programming code, websites, or any other files to keep track of what’s been changed, by whom, when, and why. All previous versions of files are saved and you can even revert to a previous version. Git is a version control software.
Git-portal sites, like GitHub or GitLab, offer many useful features to facilitate collaborative development.

ACENET: Visualization with R
While working with large sets of numbers, it is often quite useful to display the information graphically. Often, we use basic graph types such as histograms, scatter plots, bar charts, box plots, etc.
We will use R as our programming language for this workshop. Basic knowledge of R is highly recommended, although it is not mandatory.
The learning objectives will include
Harry Thurston to give the 2023 Don Mazer Arts & Science lecture October 3
UPEI Writer-in-Residence Harry Thurston, an award-winning poet, naturalist, and globe-travelling journalist, will give the 2023 UPEI Don Mazer Arts & Science Lecture at 7:30 pm on Tuesday, October 3, in Don and Marion McDougall Hall, Room 248, at UPEI.
ACENET: SQL for Humanities, Social Sciences, and Librarians
Many web applications, research project websites, and library & archival repositories store data in relational databases. A relational database can help you keep your data separate from your analysis, improve quality control of data entry, reduce duplication of data, and improve your ability to search across large and complex datasets. Structured Query Language, or SQL, is a powerful language used to search and manipulate relational databases.
