Welcome to session 1
During Session 1 we will establish fundamental ideas and skills that are essential for using Nextflow and customizing the execution of nf-core workflows.
We will start by discussing the core features Nextflow and learning the fundamental commands and options for executing workflows. Next, we will then learn the core features of nf-core and its tooling. This knowledge will be applied as we learn the structure of an nf-core workflow and how customize its execution. Finally we will learn more about nf-core tooling for users and how it can help you execute your workflow using best practices.
The ideas and skills you learn during Session 1 will be applied during Session 2 when you explore the source code of the nf-core/rnaseq workflow and customise its execution.
