R for Data Science Book Club (Meeting 3)

R-Ladies DC will be reading R for Data Science in 8 biweekly meetings (July 15, July 29, Aug 12, Aug 26, Sept 9, Sept 23, Oct 14, Oct 28).

The selected book chapters should be read before the meeting time.

There are also exercises for each week which you should aim to complete before the meeting as well. We'll go through solutions to the exercises as a group. In most weeks, we'll also do some additional exercises from the chapters live during the meeting.

It's okay if you're not able to complete everything ahead of time, we understand that life happens. Please still attend the meeting, even if you didn't read everything or complete all the exercises.

In addition, if you have to miss a meeting time, all code will be made available after the meeting on Github: https://github.com/sctyner/r4ds-bookclub-rladiesdc

Note on the exercises: For all exercises, we will use the online version of the book. There are some differences between the online and print exercises, so we'll stick with the online ones so that everyone is doing the same exercises.

Note on meeting access: All meetings will be virtual. You must RSVP to the meeting on the R-Ladies DC Meetup page to receive the Zoom link. All meetings will take place on a Thursday from 7:00-8:30pm ET (America/New York).
