[ONLINE] Metaprogramming- Big picture! R-Ladies NL bookclub Advanced R- Ch 17
Details
Hi everyone,
The R Ladies chapters of the Netherlands are partnering up and are hosting an online book club. As a first book, we chose to read and discuss Hadley Wickham's Advanced R book (https://adv-r.hadley.nz/).
Join us for our next meeting, in which Janine Khuc will present the key points of Chapter 17: “Big Picture"- that introduces us to the key concepts of metaprogramming, a powerful idea that deeply influences much R code. At the most basic level the idea is explored 'that code is data that can be inspected and modified programmatically'. We'll discover why we can write things like library(purrr) instead of library("purrr") within R and many more things.
You can find the full schedule and more information here: https://github.com/rladiesnl/book_club
Feel free to sign up to discuss one of the chapters there!
