10 Years of Data Science Tools... and What Happens Next
💬 Speaker(s): Jonathan McPherson
📝 Abstract:
In this talk, I'll reflect on a decade of work on RStudio and the principles of tool-building that have led it to become the standard data science environment for R. We'll talk about how those same principles have guided the development of Positron, a new data science environment from Posit, and how you can apply them to your own tool-building work.
