About this Event
This comprehensive training course covers advanced Nextflow concepts and best practices for developing robust, maintainable workflows. Through hands-on exercises and real-world examples, participants will learn essential skills for professional Nextflow development.
Requirements
Participants should have some Nextflow experience and understand concepts like processes, workflows, channels, basic operators (e.g. `map`, `collect`), multi-step workflows, modules, and basic configuration. Familiarity with command-line tools, basic scripting, and Docker containers is also expected.
We will be running the training with GitHub Codespaces, which provides an integrated development environment directly within a web browser (preferably Google Chrome). The workshop material will be available within the GitHub workspace. Create and connect to a GitHub Codespace before training begins to verify your access works properly by following the provided instructions here.
