The Astronomy Data And Computing Services (ADACS) initiative has been working with the Australian astronomy community for just over 3 years now. Our vision is to deliver astronomy-focused training, support and expertise to maximise the scientific return on investments in astronomical data & computing infrastructure.
During these last 3 years, we have delivered dozens of face-to-face, hands-on workshops and created several hours worth of online tutorial materials. This talk will focus on our journey to deliver this computational skills training to the community, exploring how we chose different delivery pathways and content, based both on community input as well as our professional expertise and understanding of existing skill gaps. Most importantly we will discuss our plans for the future and how we are working on actively including the community in developing new training material beyond the usual skills survey.
Come along to this talk if you would like to hear about a national effort to deliver computational skills training and would like to know more about potential new avenues to provide just-in-time training and how to collaborate with ADACS.

In this train-the-trainer workshop, we will be exploring and discussing methods for active data management.
Participants will become familiar with cloud storage and associated tools and services for managing active research data. Learn how to organise, maintain, store and analyse active data, and understand safe and secure ways of sharing and storing data.
Topics such as cloud storage, collaborative editing, versioning and data sharing will be discussed and demonstrated.

https://dresa.org.au/materials/introduction-to-jupyter-notebooks
This workshop will introduce you to Jupyter Notebooks, a digital tool that has exploded in popularity in recent years for those working with data.
You will learn what they are, what they do and why you might like to use them. It is an introductory set of lessons for those who are brand new, have little or no knowledge of coding and computational methods in research.
This workshop is targeted at those who are absolute beginners or ‘tech-curious’. It includes a hands-on component, using basic programming commands, but requires no previous knowledge of programming.

https://dresa.org.au/materials/network-know-how-and-data-handling-workshop
This workshop is a ‘train-the-trainer’ session that covers topics such as jargon busting, network literacy and data movement solutions. The workshop will also provide a peek at some collaborative research tools such as Jupyter Notebooks and CloudStor. You will learn about networks, integrated tools, data and storage and where all these things fit in the researcher’s toolkit.
This workshop is targeted at staff who would like to be more confident in giving advice to researchers about the options available to them. It is especially tailored for those with little to no technical knowledge and includes a hands-on component, using basic programming commands, but requires no previous knowledge of programming.

https://dresa.org.au/materials/the-living-book-of-digital-skills
*The Living Book of Digital Skills (You never knew you needed until now)* is a living, open source online guide to 'modern not-quite-technical computer skills' for researchers and the broader academic community.
A collaboration between Australia's Academic Research Network (AARNet) and the Council of Australian Librarians (CAUL), this book is the creation of the CAUL Digital Dexterity Champions and their communities.
**Contributing to the Digital Skills GitBook**
The Digital Skills GitBook is an open source project and like many projects on GitHub we welcome your contributions.
If you have knowledge or expertise on one of our [requested topics](https://aarnet.gitbook.io/digital-skills-gitbook-1/requested-articles), we would love you to write an article for the book. Please let us know what you'd like to write about via our [contributor form](https://github.com/AARNet/Digital-Skills-GitBook/issues/new?assignees=sarasrking&labels=contributors&template=contributor-form.yml&title=Contributor+form%3A+).
There are other ways to contribute too. For example, you might:
* have a great idea for a new topic to be included in one of our chapters (make a new page)
* notice some information that’s out-of-date or that could be explained better (edit a page)
* come across something in the GitBook that’s not working as it should be (submit an issue)
