Sean Lopp & Rich Iannone | Avoid Dashboard Fatigue | RStudio (2020)

Data science teams face a challenging task. Not only do they have to gain insight from data, they also have to persuade others to make decisions based on those insights. To close this gap, teams rely on tools like dashboards, apps, and APIs. But unfortunately data organizations can suffer from their own success - how many of those dashboards are viewed once and forgotten? Is a dashboard of dashboards really the right solution? And what about that pesky, precisely formatted Excel spreadsheet finance still wants every week? In this webinar, we’ll show you an easy way teams can solve these problems using proactive email notifications through the blastula and gt packages, and how RStudio pro products can be used to scale out those solutions for enterprise applications. Dynamic emails are a powerful way to meet decision makers where they live - their inbox - while displaying exactly the results needed to influence decision-making. Best of all, these notifications are crafted with code, ensuring your work is still reproducible, durable, and credible. We’ll demonstrate how this approach provides solutions for data quality monitoring, detecting and alerting on anomalies, and can even automate routine (but precisely formatted) KPI reporting.

In his spare time he skis and mountain bikes and is a proud Colorado native. About Rich: My background is in programming, data analysis, and data visualization. Much of my current work involves a combination of data acquisition, statistical programming, tools development, and visualizing the results. I love creating software that helps people accomplish things. I regularly update several R package projects (all available on GitHub). One such package is called DiagrammeR and it's great for creating network graphs and performing analyses on the graphs. One of the big draws for open-source development is the collaboration that comes with the process. I encourage anyone interested to ask questions, make recommendations, or even help out if so inclined!

Lou Bajuk & Sean Lopp | RStudio: A Single Home for R & Python| RStudio

Many Data Science teams today are bilingual, leveraging both R and Python in their work. While both languages are tremendously powerful, teams frequently struggle to use them together. We’ve heard from our customers how even experienced data scientists familiar with both languages often struggle to combine them without painful context switching and manual translations. Data Science leaders and business stakeholders find it difficult to make key data science content easily discoverable and available for decision-making, and IT Admins and DevOps engineers grapple with how to efficiently support these teams. In this webinar, you will learn how RStudio helps Data Science teams tackle all these challenges, and make the Love Story between R and Python a happier one: - Easily combine R and Python in a single Data Science project - Leverage a single infrastructure to launch and manage Jupyter Notebooks and JupyterLab environment, as well as the RStudio IDE - Organize and share Jupyter Notebooks alongside your work in R and your mixed R and Python projects This webinar will show examples of all these capabilities, and discuss the benefits of leveraging R and Python. About Lou: Lou is a passionate advocate for data science software, and has had many years of experience in a variety of leadership roles in large and small software companies, including product marketing, product management, engineering and customer success. In his spare time, his interests includes books, cycling, science advocacy, great food and theater.
