Carpentries New Workbench - An efficient platform

[sabaferdous12]

While looking for a best platform to build our teaching materials, I was introduced to carpentries new workbench (sandpaper) by a colleague. On trying and exploring it further, It didn't take me longer to realise that sandpaper is ticking all the boxes for our requirements. We wanted to have web materials (ideally written in markdown) with the personalisation of CSS styling. It was very trivial and efficient to do that in carpentries workbench because varnish package looks after the styling and keeps it separate from actual materials. It offers easy integration of other languages like Python. GitHub actions and pages let you keep the code and html content separate on different branches which is very impressive.

I am so grateful to the workbench developer (@zkamvar) for providing such a versatile and efficient platform for hosting teaching materials in style and efficiency.
