Over three weekends in Spring 2014, a group of volunteers organized the [[Community Data Science Workshops (Spring 2014)]] (CDSW) — the first series of four sessions designed to introduce some of the basic tools of programming and analysis of data from online communities to absolute beginners. This version of the [[CDSW]] were held between April 4th and May 31st in 2014 at the University of Washington in Seattle. |
