Introduction to Nextflow training by ELIXIR-IT

The course will teach you what Nextflow is, and how to develop your own pipelines with Nextflow. The first part of the course covers the core components of the Nextflow language and is specially targeted to newcomers. After this course, you will have learned enough detail to be able to develop simple but fully functional pipelines. It also covers key elements of pipeline design, development and configuration practices. You will also be introduced to nf-core, a community effort to develop and maintain a curated set of analysis pipelines built using Nextflow. It provides a standardised set of best practices, guidelines, and templates for building and sharing scientific pipelines. nf-core is an open-source community which welcomes everyone to join and contribute to. The second part of the course explores the more advanced features of the Nextflow language and runtime. You will learn how to use them to write efficient and scalable data-intensive workflows.
