Was Shiny a bit scary? Did you feel like Machine Learning was too much? Did you get lost in the Tidyverse? We get it… don’t worry! That’s why RLadiesSydney is bringing you RYouWithMe!

[note - this event is just a placeholder. There won't be a webinar on 1 November; instead we'll be launching the series via a post to our website that we'll link to below!]

What is RYouWithMe?
RLadies Sydney is launching a series of online learning resources for using R - designed by us, for us. The series is oriented towards R beginners and aims to provide a foundation for future RLadies Sydney activities.

Does opening RStudio make you just want to close it again? Don’t worry, we are going to start at the VERY beginning: where to find your files, what you might use the console for, and where your script get written. From there, we’ll move on to data wrangling, visualisation, R language, and R Markdown.

Currently, we have five units planned to roll out by the end of 2018 (eep!):

  1. Basic Basics
  2. Clean it up (aka Data Wrangling)
  3. VizWiz (aka Visualisation Wizardry)
  4. Behind the Curtain (aka The Language of R)
  5. MarkyMark (aka RMarkdown reports)

On the horizon for 2019, we foresee additional units tackling inferential statistics, git, and functional programming. Send ideas for future units to rladiessydney@gmail.com.

UPDATE: RYouWithMe is now live! We've launched with a post featuring the inspiration for the series and an AMA with co-founders Jen and Danielle! Find it here: http://rladiessydney.org/ryouwithme .
