Towards better practice for scientific computing

Slides for my talk on moving towards better practice in scientific computing. Take home message: use version control, test your code and automate repetition.

This talk was forked from C. Titus Brown's talk of (nearly) the same name at the University Corporation for Academic Research (Slides: http://www.slideshare.net/c.titus.brown/2013-ucar-best-practices; Video: https://sea.ucar.edu/event/moving-towards-better-engineered-scientific-software).

Presented at the British Ecological Society's Macroecology meeting in July 2013.
