Thread by @JonTheGeek

First up today we have @minebocek and @juliesquid officially introducing @quarto_pub #RStudioConf2022 #RStudioConf #RStats

Quarto's goal is to make creating and collaborating significantly better. Today they'll talk about:
Share
Teach
Collaborate
Reimagine

Importantly, @minebocek is the blue penguin, @juliesquid is the orange penguin.

#RStudioConf2022 #RStudioConf #RStats

@minebocek is an educator, researcher, and developer. That "compassion" in the middle is definitely fitting, because she's also incredibly kind and helpful. #RStudioConf2022 #RStudioConf #RStats

Follow along at mine.quarto.pub/hello-quarto and @minebocek will show off some functionality by advancing the slides for you! Also claim your name while you're there! #RStudioConf2022 #RStudioConf #RStats

Quarto highlights

Consistent implementation of attractive and handy features across outputs

More accessible defaults & better accessibility support

Guardrails: YAML completion, informative syntax errors, etc.

Support for other languages

#RStudioConf2022 #RStudioConf #RStats

Quarto uses
#| option: value

For chunk options. Aimed at better readability. Rstudio has code completion for them.

#RStudioConf2022 #RStudioConf #RStats

Adding alt text is easier via #|, hopefully more people will provide it! Visual editor in rstudio also looks like it will make things easier to learn #RStudioConf2022 #RStudioConf #RStats

Sigh, I'm definitely going to restructure the @R4DScommunity book club note sites (r4ds.io/r4ds, etc) in @quarto_pub. I wonder if they have a template already that might fit (a collection of slide decks, essentially) #RStudioConf2022 #RStudioConf #RStats

BTW credit to @allison_horst for the adorable images! She makes a lot if the awesome @rstudio art, check out her github repo: github.com/allisonhorst/s… #RStudioConf2022 #RStudioConf #RStats

"tooling that makes it easy to share what you do with the world is incredibly useful." Absolutrly! #RStudioConf2022 #RStudioConf #RStats

@juliesquid (the orange penguin) loves Mentoring. Teaching, and Empowering Communities

@openscapes is her effort to lead all these open-research animals to the trailhead of success. #RStudioConf2022 #RStudioConf #RStats

With @quarto_pub, @juliesquid could use her Jedi powers even though most of the @NASA earth scientists used the snake. #RStudioConf2022 #RStudioConf #RStats

Can mix files in different languages/formats together via quarto YAML. So snake people can use their Jupyter notebooks and #RStats people can use rmd and @quarto_pub can mix them together. OK, I think I'm starting to get it! #RStudioConf2022 #RStudioConf

Now @minebocek will talk about how @quarto_pub is useful for teaching. I mostly just wanted to include this slide with the cute penguins. #RStudioConf2022 #RStudioConf #RStats

Check out CRAN.R-project.org/package=arthis…! @minebocek 's student Holland Stam used @quarto_pub in her work and also helped develop that package. #RStudioConf2022 #RStudioConf #RStats

Can add annotations and highlighting fairly easily. (sorry, vet called me instead of my spouse to check on something about my 🐕 so I missed several slides making sure that got handled & all is ok) #RStudioConf2022 #RStudioConf #RStats

"quarto flattens the learning curve"
(asside: phrasing around learning curves always cracks me up, cuz a steep learning curve means you learn a lot fast; she's using the colloquial "flat is easy" version 🙃) #RStudioConf2022 #RStudioConf #RStats

It's great to talk to @juliesquid irl, she can't help but think about what we can do to make things better. I definitely recommend trying to say "hi" to her if you're here in person! #RStudioConf2022 #RStudioConf #RStats

Easily add citations from zotero by typing @ in the visual editor. That was really cool! #RStudioConf2022 #RStudioConf #RStats

We all can collaborate to make a better future! #RStudioConf2022 #RStudioConf #RStats
