<p>Hello everyone,</p> <p>Let's start the summer off right!</p> <p>Come swing by for our 1.5-hour workshop on how to create Résumé/CVs in R using the package Vitae, followed by some networking discussion specific to the R community and a dinner after (La Casita). This workshop will be hosted by Lisa Cao. Lisa is a scientific programmer and student in the psychology department at SFU, has taught workshops with the SFU's Scientific Programming Group and works on introducing R and open source into nontechnical fields with a huge community emphasis.</p> <p>This workshop will be two fold, in the first part we will do some hands on coding with the Vitae package where we will create dynamic and online Résumé/CVs using R and in the second part discuss the R community landscape and how to use it to your advantage in your networking endeavors. After the workshop we will be carrying on the conversation at a restaurant (TBA!) and get to know some of our fellow members.</p> <p>To confirm your spot, please get a ticket on eventbrite: ****<a href="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/creating-resumecvs-in-r-networking-night-tickets-60592965190" class="linkified">https://www.eventbrite.com/e/creating-resumecvs-in-r-networking-night-tickets-60592965190</a>*****</p> <p>******<br/>About the workshop &amp; instructions:</p> <p>***PLEASE NOTE THAT THE VITAE REQUIRES LaTeX TO BE INSTALLED***<br/>install package Vitae: <a href="https://github.com/ropenscilabs/vitae" class="linkified">https://github.com/ropenscilabs/vitae</a></p> <p>install tinytex: <a href="https://github.com/yihui/tinytex" class="linkified">https://github.com/yihui/tinytex</a><br/>install.packages('vitae')</p> <p>install.packages('tinytex')<br/>tinytex::install_tinytex()</p> <p>-Please expect a hands-on session in a friendly and laid-back atmosphere where we all encouraged to learn together.<br/>- All levels are welcome, but be prepared that we created this with beginners in mind.
