For example, here’s a cool dashboard for visualizing tweets about the 2019 rstudio::conf. Some Shiny apps can get pretty complicated. The basic gist of Shiny apps is that they are ways to explore your data interactively. Shiny apps are web apps, which is a little less intimidating, somehow. The main reason is that the word “app” strikes fear into my heart. I need to start making Shiny apps.Īs I said in my tweet (the one that Hadley liked!), this conference convinced me that I really should start building apps with RShiny as soon as possible. And by following the #rstats hashtag and some key people in the R community, I’ve learned all sorts of tips and tricks about the kinds of things you can do with Twitter.Īpart from that, lots of people were live-tweeting the rstudio::conf, and I tried my hand at that, too! A highlight was when the one and only Hadley Wickham liked one of my tweets. I’ve found some internships through Twitter. I learned about this conference through Twitter. I joined Twitter on a whim this fall, and it has been awesome. An aquatic ecologist who uses R for work Īnd they were all happy to talk to me! 2.
Two young people who interned at RStudio, despite not being experts in R.A woman who flew from Brazil (!!) to attend the conference.Several young professors teaching data science at their schools.A neuroscience PhD now working for Facebook.A linguist now working for a nonprofit.I met people with so many diverse interests! Among others: At meals and talks, I sat down next to random people and asked what they did or how they knew R. I was surprised at how genuinely welcome I felt. In my experience, people who do a lot of computer programming tend to use a lot of intimidating jargon, and I was scared I’d flounder. I’ve never really considered myself a computer person, and I learned R pretty much accidentally through my work in biology. She does amazing illustrations! You can find her work on her GitHub page, and she’s on twitter was pretty nervous to attend this conference. This art is by RStudio artist-in-residence Allison Horst. But thanks to some help from my lab and my college, last week I flew out to sunny San Francisco for the 2020 rstudio::conf, and I had a blast! Here are some things I learned and some avenues I’m excited to explore in the future. When I started in R a few years ago, I never thought I would have any place at a coding conference for computer people. Today I’m departing a little from the problem/context/solution format of these posts to share some things I learned from last week’s rstudio::conf.
