Dan Woulfin (GSLIS 2021) will be giving a workshop, From Python to R: Learning the Basics of R Programming, this Friday, February 2 from 12-2PM. It will explore the basics of the R programming language from a Python user's perspective, paying particular attention to some of the structural, as well as syntactic and idiomatic differences between the two languages. We'll look at R's strengths and weaknesses with the goal of exposing non-R users to the language using practical hands-on exercises. suitable for beginning/novice programmers but based on the practicalities of working with real-world data. The workshop is open to the public over Zoom. Register here.

Dan Woulfin is Computational Research Instruction Librarian at Columbia University.
