[ONLINE] Personal R Administration Workshop with Shannon Pileggi & David Aja

Come join your fellow R users from R-Ladies RTP and R-Ladies Gaborone in a joint virtual meet up.

Does the release of a new R version fill you with dread? Are there passwords in your R code? Do you look at the output of a failed package installation and think to yourself, “WTF?!” If you said yes to any of those question, then you need Personal R Administration. You'll come away with tips, tricks, tweaks, and some hacks for building data science R development environments that you won't be afraid to come back to in a year.

This is a half-day long hands-on event based on the "What They Forgot To Teach You About R" workshop that Shannon and David co-teach every year at posit::conf. For more on that workshop, visit: https://rstats.wtf/.
