Ilja Sperling | The best of both worlds: code-centric websites with Blogdown & R

This talk will introduce you to the convenience of creating and running your own code-centric website with RStudio and R Markdown. No HTML needed.

Whether as your personal homepage, a blog with all your R tricks, or just to build your data-science portfolio - Yihui Xie’s Blogdown package makes running a full-fledged website from within RStudio as easy as using Medium or Wordpress. All without ever interrupting your regular R workflow.

We’ll set up a new website, write our first post, publish it on the web, and look into some Blogdown tricks and ways to customise our website’s theme.

Mikhail Balyasin | Touring the tidyverse: tidyeval

It's time we talk about tidyeval.

Tidy evaluation is probably one of the most interesting and equally confusing parts of the tidyverse. In the fourth installment of "Touring tidyverse" we will talk about what it is and why you might want to use it in your projects.

Main part of the talk will be a step-by-step introduction of concepts in tidyeval (e.g., `enquo`, `enexpr`, `!!`, `!!!` and so on) with a worked example provided by the main developer of tidyeval Lionel Henry. This will hopefully provide enough motivation and clarity into this concept.
