Update May 26, 2020: Hi everyone, we are postponing this event about reticulate to Fall 2020. However, we are currently planning a new event in June 2020. We will post more details in the next few days. Thank you for your patience during this time and we hope each of you and your families are doing well.

Sincerely,

  • The R-Ladies Baltimore Org Team

R-Ladies Baltimore (Bmore) is the local Baltimore chapter for the larger R-Ladies global organization (rladies.org) to promote gender diversity in the R community.

We will have an event on Thursday May 28, 2020 from 5:30-7pm at Allovue (https://allovue.com). We will have presentations on how to leverage Python in R using the 'reticulate' R package!

WHO is this for?

  • If you are new to R & are short-budgeted on time!
  • If you know and love Python, but want to know how to use in R!
  • If you just want to see some awesome examples of leveraging Python packages in R!

If any/all of this is true, this event might be for you!

Reticulate provides a comprehensive set of tools for interoperability between Python and R. The package includes facilities for:

  • Calling Python from R in a variety of ways including R Markdown, sourcing Python scripts, importing Python modules, and using Python interactively within an R session.

  • Translation between R and Python objects (for example, between R and Pandas data frames, or between R matrices and NumPy arrays).

  • Flexible binding to different versions of Python including virtual environments and Conda environments.

Reticulate embeds a Python session within your R session, enabling seamless, high-performance interoperability. If you are an R developer that uses Python for some of your work or a member of data science team that uses both languages, reticulate can dramatically streamline your workflow!

FAQ:
Q: Are men welcome to attend R-Ladies events?
A: Yes, men are welcome at this event. Our mission is to encourage more women and non-binary individuals to get involved in the R community. However, we ask that cis men come as guests of women and gender minorities to our events to promote a sense support and encouragement for women and gender minorities in the R community. Please help us by spreading the word about R-Ladies. Please also take the time to review our code of conduct before you attend: https://github.com/rladies/starter-kit/wiki/Code-of-Conduct

The term "women and gender minorities" is inclusive of individuals who identify as female (trans and cis), trans-men, non-binary, genderqueer, genderfluid, agender, intersex, and all minority genders).
