Blogdown Basics

What's the event about?
At this meetup, R-Ladies RTP member Joyce Cahoon will introduce us to blogdown, an R package for making websites in R. By the end of the session, you will have created a blogdown-powered website. To learn more about blogdown you can check out the free online book by Yihui Xie, Amber Thomas, and Alison Presmanes Hill here: https://bookdown.org/yihui/blogdown/

If you're interested in giving a 5-minute pop-up presentation featuring projects, plots, or code you've written in R, please message Sheila (sheila@rladies.org) with your brief pitch.

All events are intended for women as leaders, mentors, members, and attendees. We are emphatically queer and trans friendly. Men are welcomed to attend as guests and must be accompanied by the R-Lady who invited them. This group was created so those who identify as women have a comfortable place to learn. If you would like to attend and feel excluded, please introduce yourself to an organizer.
