R-Ladies Launch with Hadley Wickham

Hi Everyone!

We are thrilled to announce our meetup launch with Hadley Wickham. This meetup will aimed at all R abilities. For those very new to R or those who have using the tidyverse for a while, you'll still pick up some new tricks.

Please arrive at 6:00 for a 6:30 start.

# Data science in the tidyverse

The talk will begin with a broad overview of the data science process, motivated by a simple, but compelling, example. The bulk of the talk will cover the details of the process, focussing on challenges around data import, tidying, transformation, and visualisation. Along the way you'll learn some of the key principles of the tidyverse, centered around an explicit acknowledgement of the human in the loop.

While I'll be showing and talking about lots of code, no programming experience is required. This talk contains no formulas.

# Bio

Hadley is Chief Scientist at RStudio, a member of the R Foundation, and Adjunct Professor at Stanford University and the University of Auckland. He builds tools (both computational and cognitive) to make data science easier, faster, and more fun. His work includes packages for data science (the tidyverse: including ggplot2, dplyr, tidyr, purrr, and readr) and principled software development (roxygen2,
testthat, devtools). He is also a writer, educator, and speaker promoting the use of R for data science. Learn more on his website, http://hadley.nz (http://hadley.nz/) .

This meetup is being run in conjunction with the Data Science Discussion group https://www.meetup.com/Data-Science-Discussion-Auckland/

We look forward to meeting you.

R-Ladies Auckland.
