Location: Arts Tower

After a long hiatus SheffieldR User Group is back and we'll be starting things off by looking at the new document preparation system [Quarto](https://quarto.org) and how to use it with GitHub to publish presentations as websites. There is however still scope for a second talk so if you'd like to make a short presentation on how you have used R in your research please [get in touch](mailto:n.shephard@sheffield.ac.uk).

The evolution of literate programming continues with Quarto which builds on the widely popular RMarkdown. Powered by Pandoc under the hood it continues to provide many popular document structures such as books, journal articles, Beamer articles and websites, but extends these further introducing new document structures such as blogs including RevealJS slide presentations. Further support is now available for more programming languages beyond R including Python, Julia and the JavaScript data analysis language Observable.
Neil Shephard is a Research Software Engineer within the Department of Computer Science, will guide you through how to use a GitHub Template for Quarto RevealJS slides to create and publish them to GitHub Pages.

Neil is a Research Software Engineer at the University of Sheffield. His career has been convoluted with time as a Genetic Epidemiologist, Medical Statistician working on Clinical Trials and time in industry working as a Data Scientist in a startup tech company. He combines his knowledge and experience to help researchers at the University of Sheffield improve the quality and openness of their code and data.

Venue is LT02 (60) in the Arts Tower.
