Good conversation!
The way I've always taught it as part of an R-shell-git-R sequence is to
do a full half-day with git from the command line, then in the second R
segment (end of second day), move over to using git in RStudio.
That way it reinforces the concepts learned on the command line
Hi all,
Potentially a very useful tool for instructors, created by Chris
Holdgraf at the Berkeley Institute for Data Science:
[gitautopush](https://github.com/choldgraf/gitautopush).
He just added a nbconvert option too!
It's kind of like the [bash PROMPT_COMMAND
Hi all,
A job opportunity that may be of interest to some of you on this list.
Carbon Lighthouse is a company based out of San Francisco that helps
businesses reduce their carbon footprint. It was founded by some friends of
mine from college. They’re looking to hire some developers with Python or
Hi all,
I'm been thinking recently about the best way to incorporate testing
(regression/unit/etc) into routine data analysis scripts, both for my
own work and when teaching (e.g. a graduate-level bioinformatics class).
Conceptually it seems straightforward to incorporate tests when
I find things like this really helpful for allowing people to follow
along as you go, and students seem to really appreciate having the
record to download and refer back to.
A Dropbox public links works well for this too. For R, I usually save
the script somewhere in Dropbox (or other cloud
FWIW, we just had a workshop at UCSF and the nano install/config with
the SWC installer worked fine on the ~15 windows laptops in the room.

installer after installing git for windows.

Hi Tobin,
The other difference with the R repos (as compared to non-R lessons) is
that they have a makefile in them that needs to be run locally to knit
the Rmd files to md for Jekyll to use to render for GitHub pages.
Lots of really useful info on all the gory details of how lessons are
Hi Raniere -
I think it isn't a part of the materials because it's a bit advanced for
the usual audience level. But that's not to say it wouldn't be nice to
have. I imagine such a lesson could intro the base assertion functions
like `stopifnot()` and also Hadley's testthat package. PRs
Hi all -
Passing along a job opportunity for a software engineer at a clean-tech
startup in San Francisco called Carbon Lighthouse
(http://www.carbonlighthouse.com/). The company was started by a couple
of friends of mine; they're good people and they do good work -- could
be a great
Hi Bennet -
It works for me, but I'm using CommonMark 0.5.4 vs your 0.6.3? Maybe the
newer version of CommonMark removed or renamed DocParser? dig around on GitHub>
Yup, looks like `DocParser` was renamed to `Parser` in v0.6.0
Perhaps not a silver bullet, but:
Emacs org-mode has some pretty awesome table functionality, including formulas.
These get rendered properly (like markdown tables) on GitHub, since GitHub
renders .org files. Downside is that people need to install/use emacs and
org-mode syntax to get the
