Jon HarmonWe begin with James Wade and coworkers talking about how Dow uses @Posit tools #PositConf2024 #RStats #PyData 🧵2/17
My goal this year: recruit 18 more people to submit full #TidyTuesday datasets using our new process outlined at https://github.com/rfordatascience/tidytuesday/blob/master/data%2Fcurated%2Ftemplate%2Finstructions.md
Contact me here or in person if you're interested in giving a try! #PositConf2024 #RStats #PyData 🧵 3/17

Per tradition, now @hadleywickham is introducing the conference, including the new conf::contest #PositConf2024 #RStats #PyData 🧵4/17
Remember the Pac-Man* rule! Leave a space when you're chatting between talks for someone else to join! #PositConf2024 #RStats #PyData 🧵 5/17
* Pac-Man was a video game in the 70s and 80s. It was simple but extraordinarily popular. The main character was a circle with a wedge-shaped mouth that opened and closed constantly as you moved him around a maze, fleeing (but sometimes eating) ghosts. It had a Saturday morning cartoon and a breakfast cereal. I don't know if the non-olds know that.
Remember that @Posit is a #PBC (public benefit corporation). They want to bring open-source, code-first tools to the enterprise. So they have a mix of free open-source tools and paid enterprise tools. #PositConf2024 #RStats #PyData 🧵 6/17
Posit enterprise tools:
🔗 Connectb(share things)
👷 Workbench (build things)
📦 Package Manager (bring open source into walled garden)
🧑🎓 Academy (learn data science)
☁️ Cloud (openly share stuff)

Charlotte Wickham is talking about #Quarto
I was skeptical ("isn't it just #rmarkdown rebranded for python users?") but it has really grown on me. Quarto dashboards via card layouts look really easy, I should play with those more. #PositConf2024 #RStats #PyData 🧵 8/17

@Posit puts out an annual report at https://posit.co/about/pbc-report/
That hadn't been updated in a while the last time I looked, glad to see it's updated! And they did it in #quarto with #typst, the language available in quarto for better #PDF formatting (meant to be easier than #LaTeX) #PositConf2024 #RStats #PyDataPin 🧵 9/17

Now we have @gws with updates on #webR (#RStats for WebAssembly, allowing you to run R entirely in the browser). #PositConf2024 #RStats #PyData 🧵 10/17

The #QuartoLive extension lets you plug interactive (editable) #RStats code directly into your Quarto documents. And you can easily build exercises into your docs, too! #PositConf2024 #RStats #PyData 🧵 12/17
#Quarto docs are built to resize nicely on small screens, in part because a lot of students work on their phones. As do live tooters! #PositConf2024 #RStats #PyData 🧵 13/17
#QuartoLive is live! https://github.com/r-wasm/quarto-live
You can also make gradable exercises with feedback! #PositConf2024 #RStats #PyData 🧵 14/17

Now James Blair is talking to us about @Posit's partnerships with #databricks and #snowflake. 🧵 15/17
(if you use these vendors, it's a lot easier now than it used to be. There's less "oh cool!" in this section so I'm catching up on things outside the thread) #PositConf2024 #RStats #PyData 🧵 16/17
@hadleywickham is back to explain why they DIDN'T talk about #positron in this keynote. There's a track for that up next! Sadly I think I'll be in the pharma track, so I'll have to watch vids! #PositConf2024 #RStats #PyData 🧵 17/17
