Data Bytes - Increasing Research and Teaching Productivity with R Markdown

R Markdown provides a way of combining text, equations, and code into documents that are easy to track and maintain, while producing reliable final documents for sharing with students, editors, and colleagues. R Markdown text documents can be used by the knitr R package and tools such as LaTeX and pandoc to produce a variety of beautiful outputs, including research papers, webpages, books, and presentations. This workshop will 1) introduce why R Markdown might be a productive tool for you to adopt, 2) demonstrate the basic capabilities of .Rmd files in the creation of different documents, and 3) share additional resources to learn more about R Markdown and associated tools.
