R4DS Advanced R Bookclub
THIS IS AN OLD REPOSITORY FOR THIS CLUB! SEE bookclub-advr FOR THE NEW ITERATION!
A weekly reading group following the chapters of Advanced R by Hadley Wickham (2nd ed)
Visit the #book_club-advanced_r channel on Slack to join the video chat!
This repo contains 3 main folders:
-
QandA: A bookdown collection of chapter questions and answers that come up during meetings (or between!). We’re also using this to try to answer questions marked “started” in the solutions manual with the potential goal of submitting PRs with our own answers!
-
Presentations: each week a presenter will give a talk summarizing the chapter and/or discussing practical applications of the topic at hand. Here is a (WIP) guide for first-time presenters :sunglasses:
-
Data: Example datasets are stored in this folder to help facilitate practical applications - including beer production and beer reviews. Feel free to add your own!
