[Lyon] Work Through 'Advanced R' Book #6

Closed njlyon0 closed 1 month ago

Summary

Rachel King and some other folx at NCEAS are pulling together a group of people interested in working through the Advanced R eBook weekly/semi-weekly. I'm 100% interested in joining that crew / deepening my R knowledge! I think it'll also improve my programming skills in ways that will be of clear benefit to working groups/ SSECR participants.

Sitrep

Migrating this issue from GitHub Enterprise (old location for SciComp team project management) so need to give a quick situation report here for completeness.

[x] Take notes on & complete exercises for chaps 1-8
[x] Identify 1-2 key highlights for each chapter
Plan is to meet weekly until we've worked through all the chapters that seem valuable

[x] Work through chapter 10 (Function Factories) -- 10/03
[x] Work through chapter 11 (Function Operators) -- 10/11
[ ] Work through chapter 22 (Debugging) -- 10/18
~~Work through chapter 17 (Metaprogramming: Big Picture)~~

Done!

This group has wrapped up. There's general interest in continuing to learn/self-teach together but we are done with advancedR (for now at least).
