Aggregate 62: WebR - the What, the Why, the How

Come join us for our 62nd aggRegate meetup on Zoom! We welcome current or aspiring R users who have any level of experience with the R programming language.
Our goal is to exchange knowledge, learn new skills, help each other troubleshoot coding problems, and meet new fellow R users.
No topic is off limits, and you may attend even if you don’t feel that you have anything to share. Come learn with us!
When: May 15, 2024 @ 6:30-8 PM
Where: Online: zoom info provided soon (provided after you join).
Agenda:

• Ted Laderas (co-organizer) will give a short demo of WebR, a technology that leverages WebAssembly (WASM) to run R in your browser. He'll highlight some important applications, especially in education for helping students learn R concepts.
• Brief intro/R project or problem: We'll take turns talking about an R project we're working on, a data/data-science problem, or something we want to learn, etc.
• Next, anyone can share some code they've been working on and want help with / want feedback on. Make sure to have this ready before the meeting.

Please note that this event, like all PDX R events, adheres to the PDX R Code of Conduct: https://pdxrlang.com/code-of-conduct.html We are dedicated to a safe learning environment to all.
