RMarkdown Throwdown
Details
RMarkdown is becoming THE way to create reproducible reports of analyses carried out in R. As if RMarkdown weren’t great enough for that purpose, there is also a veritable feast of markdown-related packages that can be used to create everything from blogs, books, and posters, to slides, CVs, and interactive dashboards.
At Markdown Throwdown, you’ll hear short talks showcasing the power of RMarkdown. Maybe your RMarkdown experience is as limited as "I know how to knit a document into an html report". Or maybe you have played around with blogdown, radix, pagedown, bookdown, thesisdown, rticles, vitae, papaja, flexdashboard, learnr, tufte, remedy, namer, or xarigan (see! it IS a feast!). Perhaps you don’t even know what Markdown is! No matter what, we guarantee you’ll learn something at our Markdown Throwdown!
You might also guess what that means! We’re looking for Throwdown participants (read: presenters; trust us, this is not as scary as it sounds!). This is an opportunity to demo your RMarkdown skills for the audience, showcasing something amazing that can be done in RMarkdown. No skill is ‘too limited’ - even experienced data scientists who use R every day might not know anything about Markdown! So if you’re at all inclined to present, go for it!
