Getting to know Quarto

What's Quarto? What can it do? Should you make the switch from R-Markdown, and... how do you pronounce it correctly? In this workshop, we'll answer (some of) these questions!

Similar to R-Markdown, Quarto is a publishing system that lets you combine text, code, and code output to create articles, presentations, websites, books, or blogs.

In this workshop, we'll introduce you to Quarto and show how it compares to R-Markdown as well as how much of your R-Markdown knowledge can transfer (spoiler: a lot!). We’ll also mention how you can use Quarto for other programming languages such as Python and Julia and how to use it within code editors like VS Code.

You'll be able to download and try Quarto for yourself and try it out along with our demonstrations — so you can decide for yourself if you’d like to add it to your toolbox!
