About the Course
From R Markdown to Quarto
October 20, 9:30 a.m.–5:00 p.m.
Instructor: Mine Çetinkaya-Rundel, PhD
This workshop is designed for those who want to take their R Markdown skills and expertise and apply them in Quarto, the next generation of R Markdown. Quarto is an open-source scientific and technical publishing system that offers multilingual programming language support to create dynamic and static documents, books, presentations, blogs, and other online resources. In this workshop you will learn how to apply your reproducible authoring skills to the Quarto format and learn about new tools and workflows for authoring with Quarto in RStudio. You will learn to create static documents as well as slide presentations. The workshop will also introduce you to Quarto projects that you can use to build websites and write blogs or books. Finally, you will learn various ways to deploy and publish your Quarto projects on the web.
