reprex-How Reproducible Examples are the Secret to Faster Learning & Faster Code

We're going fully virtual again this month with veteran speaker JD Long.

After the talk we will give away a free ticket (either virtual or in-person) to an attendee at random for the R in Government & Public Sector Conference taking place November 30 - December 2. Members of the meetup can use code nyhackr for 20% off tickets.

Thank you to EcoHealth Alliance for providing the Zoom link.

Conversations during the meetup are encouraged in the monthly-meetup-chat channel in the nyhackr slack.

About the Talk:
Many R users have run into the idea of a reproducible example (reprex) on Stack Overflow or other online communities. JD Long will present on the use case for a reprex and how a reprex is also a critical concept for improving performance, clarifying team understanding, and producing better code. This presentation will build a reprex from the ground up for those who have never seen the process, but then will discuss use cases for reprexes that expand the concept beyond the trivial.

About JD:
JD Long is co-author of The R Cookbook 2nd Edition and founder of the Chicago R User group. His day job is helping to build risk solutions at a global reinsurance company which involves using a suite of tools that include not only R but also Python, and a host of AWS tooling. JD lived in the NYC area for a number of years and now lives in Richmond, Virginia with his wife, daughter, and dog.

The talk will begin at 7 PM America/New_York and we will start admitting people to the event shortly before. Since this is completely remote there will be no pizza but everyone is encouraged to have pizza individually.
