Register now: http://pos.it/conf Instructor: Andrew Bray Workshop Duration: 1-Day Workshop This course is for you if you: • have a basic knowledge of how to use the RStudio IDE • have experience working with single R Markdown and/or Quarto files • are excited to author multi-document projects like books, websites, and blogs Participants who are new to computational documents will benefit from taking Intro to Quarto with R and RStudio: Documents and Presentations before joining this workshop. This workshop will prepare you to author a rich array of documents 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. The focus for this workshop will be on projects that weave together multiple documents and allow you to write books and build websites.

Hi, my name is Andrew Bray. I'm an Associate Teaching Professor at UC Berkeley in Statistics. I'd like to tell you my top three reasons why you should take the Advanced Quarto with R and RStudio workshop at PositConf this summer.
Reason one: projects in person
Reason number one, projects in person. One of the real strengths of Quarto and one of the focuses of this advanced workshop is on Quarto projects. These are complex works like websites and books that allow you to unite many different documents into a single published work. This can be challenging to learn because instead of just looking at a single file, you're looking at many documents that exist in a directory that has a particular structure. So for this workshop, we'll be preparing ahead of time several project directories that will help guide exercises, each one focusing on a different aspect of project functionality. So a big part of this workshop will just be looking at the structure of these directories together in person. And this is really a terrific environment to learn how these things work.
Reason two: programming plus authoring
Reason number two, programming plus authoring. If you're coming to PositConf, I know you like programming. If you're interested in Quarto, I also know you like authoring and publishing documents. In this workshop, we'll look at some of the advanced features of Quarto where programming and authoring start to merge. We'll look at how to pass variables through documents and how to implement listings. We'll also see how to do conditional formatting and how to set up project profiles. We'll learn how Quarto allows you to, in essence, apply programming principles to the authoring of your documents. That's a powerful paradigm.

Reason three: ask the experts
Reason number three, ask the experts. Quarto has grown leaps and bounds over the last two years, and there are more exciting changes that are in the works. We'll be visited in this workshop by the project's primary developers. This will give you a chance to ask them some questions and hear about what's happening at the cutting edge of Quarto. So if you're ready to expand what you can do with this powerful new tool, please join us at the workshop in Chicago. We hope to see you there.
