About the workshop
This workshop is designed as a quick introduction to the R programming language via ggplot2 and quarto. The R programming language is widely used in the scientific community, with special emphasis on data analysis and visualization. The ggplot2 R package is a powerful data-visualization tool that makes using R pleasant. And quarto is a modern publishing system that allows you to create beautiful documents, presentations, and websites using R.
The workshop assumes the attendees will have reviewed the contents of the following materials:
- Posit cloud essentials (link).
