I'm a Data Scientist, Git me out of here!
Details
Hello lovely people
We're back! Our first Meetup of 2020 is next Thursday.
Shout out to our amazing hosts Women@Workday! <3
We're welcoming back Bruna Wundervald as our speaker. Some of you may remember her great talk on random forests she gave last year.
Bruna and I will give a talk on how data scientists work with Git. You can bring your laptop and follow along, because there will be hands-on elements.
This meetup is aimed at intro/mid-level Data Scientists and Students. You do not need to know R programming to follow along.
We prepared material especially for folks who:
- want to share their work for collaboration with others or to showcase their work
- want to make their results reproducible (especially for science-related cases)
- want to learn R from lots of great resources available on GitHub
We are looking forward to seeing you.
