Curriculum Notes: Miscellaneous

Alan Croswell's notes on the Software Carpentry curriculum

French Mac has no \~ (googled: use option-N but that doesn't work on US keyboard). In SWC slack the answer was these keys are on option-numbers. Certainly not the case on my US keyboard.... Added this int\'l keyboard info to the workshops wiki.
international students don't always know the names for single vs. double quotes, tilde, etc.

Out of the entire class, only one student uses LaTeX to write her papers and was lamenting how her colleagues waste a lot of time trying to center figures in Word, etc. Should we offer a LaTeX workshop? Does somebody already? Did you know you can export a Jupyter notebook as LaTex? And, of course, matplotlib and R can export figures in any number of vector formats (svg, eps, etc.) that render nicely with TeX. She uses https://www.overleaf.com but apps like TeXShop are pretty nice and fit the "run it all on your laptop" model.
