Software Carpentry is a non-profit organization that teaches basic computer skills. The lessons for these courses assume no prior knowledge among the learners. I am a certified instructor for Software Carpentry and its sister organization, Data Carpentry.

I have taught two Software Carpentry workshops at the Federal Reserve Board in Washington, DC and they were very different from one another. Both workshops were successful but for very different reasons. This post explores the reasons why (I think) they were so different.
