Software Carpentry in Three and a Half Minutes

This post originally appeared on the Software Carpentry website.

I had a chance to give a quick pitch for Software Carpentry yesterday, which I've since recorded and posted to our web site. I hope it's a useful overview of what we're trying to do and why; I'd be very grateful for ideas about improving it.

Note: a newer version of the pitch, titled "Software Carpentry in Ninety Seconds", is now available.
