Quarto (Online)

REGISTER HERE Registration will close at 12:01am 9/15/2024. No late registrations will be accepted.

This 2.5-hour course will be offered via Zoom. Attendance is required as the course will not be recorded.

Quarto is a new computational document authoring system. Quarto allows you to create dynamic documents combining text, R/Python/Julia code, plots, and analysis outputs. These documents are “live”, so any changes to your data or code result in automatic updates to the results. Quarto is useful for scientific document preparation, automated report generation, and presentation preparation.

In this course, participants will learn how to use Quarto to prepare documents, reports, and presentations. Participants will embed R code in their Quarto documents; skills will be transferable to embedding Python or Julia, and no previous R experience is required.
