Echarts4r and UMAP
Details
Join us for the kickoff of a brand-new monthly series designed to bring together the vibrant R community in Johannesburg. "R Rundown & Remix" is your monthly dose of data exploration, experimentation, and inspiration - where each session dives into new tools, packages, or ideas that help sharpen your R skills and ignite fresh thinking.
🎙️ This Month's Explorers: Handre and Luis
They'll be guiding us through an exciting combo:
- Echarts4r: Learn how to use this dynamic R wrapper for Apache ECharts to create stunning, interactive visualizations.
- UMAP (Uniform Manifold Approximation and Projection): Discover how this powerful dimensionality reduction technique can help you uncover structure in complex data.
Whether you're a data scientist, analyst, academic, or R-curious beginner, you're welcome.
🌱 What to Expect
- Quick Rundown: A hands-on walkthrough of the tool or concept
- Community Remix: Bring your own ideas, use cases, or insights to the table
- Show & Tell: Time for you to share something cool you've built or learned
- Q&A & Networking: Connect with other R users in the community
🚀 Why We're Doing This
"R Rundown & Remix" is more than a meetup - it's a platform to explore, tinker, and grow together. We're building a space where R users can:
- Try out new ideas and share them in a safe, supportive environment
- Get inspired by real-world applications of R
- Learn by doing and by seeing what others are working on
- Foster deeper connections within our local (and virtual) data community
📢 Get Involved
Want to present at a future event? Got a cool package or project you want to remix with the community? We'd love to hear from you! Drop us a message or chat to us at the event.
Let's learn, share, and grow - together in R.
There will be refreshments and networking from 18h00.
