Software Carpentry

The Software Carpentry Foundation is a non-profit organization whose members teach researchers basic software skills. That is the short version of Software Carpentry. Put simply, it is about building software for you when nothing off the shelf fits.

Who is it for? Mostly companies with a specific process to automate. As a small company team themselves (11 to 50 people), they tend to serve customers of a similar scale best. You will probably talk to the people who build it, which is great until you need 24/7 support.

Software Carpentry is based in San Francisco, California and founded in 1998. Their site is software-carpentry.org.

Before you commit, look at portfolio relevance, who owns the code, and how they handle changes. Ask for a trial on your own data, not a canned demo.
