Abstract

This paper outlines an in-progress educational resource created by the DHTech Education and Training Working Group. The preliminary resource seeks to fill a gap in the current training materials available to people who work on the technical side of Digital Humanities projects. It will provide resources on high-level core concepts of software development that contextualize, rather than duplicate, existing resources. The contribution outlines the intended workflow for producing this resource and details the anticipated challenges and barriers to implementation.
