[BioPython] Fwd: Software Carpentry workshop at AAAS Annual Meeting in February 06

[Boris Steipe]

Life-science pythonistas (and their labmates) may be interested in  
Greg Wilson's Software-Carpentry course that emphasizes best- 
practices for many of the development tasks we all constantly face.  
It is geared towards the small-group scientific developer, very  
practice-oriented, taught in python, open, and free.

I am forwarding a request for suggestions, below.

best regards,
Boris
