[Plantsci] FW: June R labs at the Library

[Lambert, Georgina M - (glambert)]

On Behalf of Jeffrey Oliver:



For the remaining Thursdays in June, the schedule for R workshops/labs is:



June 15: Open R lab. Bring your R questions or just come in to write some code and enjoy coffee and pastries.



June 22: Functional programming in R workshop. An introduction to writing functions to improve your coding efficiency and optimize performance.

Description: The DRY principle<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don%27t_repeat_yourself> aims to reduce repetition in software engineering. By writing and using functions to accomplish a set of instructions multiple times, you reduce the opportunities for mistakes and often improve performance of the code you write. Functional programming makes it easy to apply the same analyses to different sets of data, without excessive copy-paste-update cycles that can introduce hard-to-detect errors.

June 29: Open R lab. Bring your R questions (or send me an email message<http://%22mailto:jcoliver@email.arizona.edu?Subject=R%20Workshop%22> requesting specific topics).



All sessions will be 9-11 am on Thursday in the iSpace<http://new.library.arizona.edu/ispace> in the Science-Engineering Library.



Cheers,



Jeff
