Agenda

30-minute talk followed by a 1.5-hour hands-on session working on two popular programming problems.

At the end of the session, participants will:

· Will have two programming solutions (with help from the speaker) on their Github, bitbucket (or another portfolio source) profile!

Computing Requirements:

If participants want to participate in the hands-on session after the talk, please install beforehand the most recent versions of R (and the tidyverse library), R Studio, and Python. You may use your favorite text editor (I recommend Sublime). It will also be helpful if you have a Github (or alternate) account.
