I just led a workshop on Quarto with @physaliacourses.bsky.social which I’ve now made public. I’m sharing the full source code to demonstrate advanced features: extensions, brand.yml styling across formats, and full CI/CD via GitHub Actions. github.com/mcanouil/mas... #Quarto #Workshop #GitHub #CICD

What an amazing line up 🤩 and I definitely recommend you never pass up a chance to do a quiz show with @libbyheeren.bsky.social!

The webRios iOS app by @coatless.bsky.social is great for little #RStats experiments on my phone or tablet without having to boot my computer. Like testing little functions and syntax, or while reading up on Advanced R (1st and 2nd ed.) or any other R books!

Are there any Quarto extensions that you wish existed? @mickael.canouil.fr has compiled so many amazing ones to check out: m.canouil.dev/quarto-exten... If the one you want isn't available yet, drop him a line below! 👇

Tomorrow at the Data Science Lab 🧪 we are hearing from the amazing @theotheredgar.bsky.social about the {mall} package: Run Natural Language Processing against your #RStats tibbles or #Python Polars DataFrames for sentiment analysis, text summaries, and more! Join us at 12 pm ET: pos.it/dslab
