3 years ago Hi @Pie923 -- glad to hear you liked the talk. So, for starters, did you see the references we included on the main repo page? If you are coding in R, I'd highly recommend the talk by Jenny Bryan.
Re: examples and the research coding community, I'm not sure. @tlestang do you have any ideas here?
Dear Thibault and Ben,
Thank you so much for the excellent talk on Monday and for developing this repo! I am currently a first-year PhD student at Oxford and previously I was trained in medicine and public health. I am quite new to programming and I learned quite a lot from your materials. However, I wonder, could you please recommend more good codes examples? Programming is a language and I feel most of my day when I was coding by myself I was just checking R/Python libraries--- this feels I was more like learning how to use vocabularies. However, usually when we learn a new language, we also want to learn from good articles so that to learn how other people organize their articles and use different vocabularies. so I wonder, have you noticed any good open-source code project in health data science field? I know nowadays more infectious disease modellers shared their codes, but sometimes I found some of them are so hard to read/understand!
In addition, do you by any chance know any research coding community within Oxford? It would be nice to learn from and help with each other!
Many thanks,
