"Speaking Many Languages: Finding Power and Joy in R and Python" – Federica Gazzelloni:
When I started my data science journey, I believed I had to “choose a side”—R or Python. But over time, I discovered that speaking more than one programming language isn’t about choosing sides; it’s about expanding perspectives. In this talk, I’ll share a bit of my personal story—how I learned both R and Python, what each has taught me, and how switching between them has enriched my work and opened unexpected doors. Along the way, I’ll walk through a few simple, side-by-side examples in both languages to highlight their strengths and unique styles. Whether you’re deeply rooted in one language or just starting out, I hope this talk leaves you feeling empowered to learn broadly, build confidently, and connect across communities.
⚡ Lightning Talks: Got a story about a coding adventure, a neat trick you recently learned, or a side project you'd love to share? Step up and speak out—everyone’s welcome! Sign up on-site for a quick 5-minute talk (English or Italian).
🎟️ Sign up: Places are limited—RSVP early to secure your spot!
