Hadley Wickham’s dplyr tutorial at useR! 2014, Part 2

Mon, 03 Nov 2014 10:00:28 -0800

Part 2 of the dplyr tutorial is now available! Hadley will be covering Grouped Mutate/Filter, Joins, Do, and Databases. (You can find Part 1 of the tutorial here.)

For our viewers who have just discovered the wonders of R, keep in mind that this tutorial was filmed in early July of 2014. As R packages naturally update over time (well, depending on the programmers!), please make sure to check Hadley’s Githubfor the latest changes to the dplyr package.

Hadley Wickham's dplyr tutorial at useR! 2014, Part 1

Hadley Wickham (perhaps you’ve heard of his work) presented a 2 hour workshop on dplyr at this year’s useR! conference at UCLA. This tutorial was definitely a highlight of the week-long conference for me, and working on this tutorial video has also made me very appreciative of how versatile the dplyr package can be. It clearly is the chef’s knife of data science tools.

Many of us here in the DataScience.LA Team were also involved in organizing the useR! 2014 conference, the annual get-together of the wonderful R community, which brought over 700 R users and developers from all over the world to Los Angeles this past July.
