R-Ladies Baltimore -- Python Rgonomics (Virtual)

R-Ladies Baltimore (Bmore) is excited to host a meetup on Tuesday February 20, 2024 from 3-4:30pm (entirely virtual meetup on Zoom). We will have a wonderful presentation from Emily Riederer, a Senior Analytics Manager at Capital One (https://emilyriederer.netlify.app/about). She will be giving a talk on "Python Rgonomics: Modern python tools that feel like R"!

For folks that cross languages from R to Python, come learn about newer tools in the Python space that mirror some of R's semantics and make users feel more at home, including:

• Setup like less painful installation (pyenv) and a great IDE (VSCode)
• Core computation: polars feels much more like dplyr than pandas
• The communication stack: seaborn's object interface explicitly inspired by ggplot2, Rich Iaonne's new gt python port
• Quarto notebooks

Think about it as opinionated data science stack that will feel more familiar to R users!

WHO is this for?

• If you are new to R, and want to come learn about some awesome Python packages and a great integrative developer environment (IDE)?
• If you are new to Python, and want to learn tools that feel like R?
• If you use RStudio, and want to learn about a new IDE?

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

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).
