Details
Join us on Wednesday, September 25th from 5:30-7:00pm for a special posit::conf(2024) *sneak peek watch party, where we’ll dive into a few exciting talks that focus on documentation, reproducibility, and collaboration. You can expect some networking and discussion, popcorn, and these great speakers:
- Why’d you load that package for? - Luis D. Verde Arregoitia: (lightning talk)
- Context is King - Shannon Pileggi: (Abstract) The quality of data science insights is predicated on the practitioner’s understanding of the data. Data documentation is the key to unlocking this understanding; with minimal effort, this documentation can be natively embedded in R data frames via variable labels. Variable labels seamlessly provide valuable data context that reduces human error, fosters collaboration, and ultimately elevates the overall data analysis experience. As an avid, daily user of variable labels, I am excited to help you discover new workflows to create and leverage variable labels in R!
- “Please Let Me Merge Before I Start Crying”: And Other Things I’ve Said at the Git Terminal - Meghan Harris: (Abstract) This talk is geared towards those who may feel comfortable working independently with Git but need some confidence when working collaboratively. Just like novice drivers can learn to confidently (and safely!) merge onto (seemingly) intimidating highways, those new to collaborating with Git can also conquer Git merges with some exposure and preparation. This talk will go over: different ways R users can interact with Git, what Git merges and Git merge conflicts are, real-life examples of Git merges, advice on resolving Git merges, and suggestions for cleaner workflows to promote better Git merges
*While you won’t yet find the public links to this year’s talks, we are still able to stream recordings from our virtual attendee profile!
We’ll supply some light refreshments, but please feel free to bring something to share. See you there!
