Preparing for the Workshop

1. Registration
Registration is required (free). If you haven’t already done so, you may register here.

2. Create a free Posit Cloud account
We’ll be using Posit Cloud for the hands-on exercises. Please create a free account if you don’t already have one. Once you’ve created a Posit Cloud account, you’re done for now.

Tip: Using a second monitor is strongly recommended for those doing the hands-on exercises, so you can watch the instructor’s screen share on one monitor, while working on RStudio in another. See also these tips for taking Zoom workshops on a single monitor.


3. Review data wrangling methods with tidyverse packages
This workshop will make extensive use of data wrangling techniques using the tidyverse packages dplyr, tidyr, and lubridate. If you’re not familiar with these packages, some review would be time well spent. See these Data Wrangling video tutorials from RStudio.
